Are you hitting the 2GB limit upon load?. If you are, can you able to strip down the data in size before loading, or maybe load into SQL Server express which has a 10GB limit instead - then pull a subset from there into Access. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Benson, William (GE Global Research, consultant) Sent: Friday, 13 January 2012 2:18 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Northwinds Isn't "cutting it" Darn, it dies with a message Cannot open database "". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I lost a coupla hours on this baby. Boo hoo. Any recommendations, or shall I scrap the idea? Sounds like too much data anyway. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Benson, William (GE Global Research, consultant) Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 8:03 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Northwinds Isn't "cutting it" Hi I am looking for some interesting (non-proprietary) data to demonstrate an add-in I built, which is designed to reorder / rename / Reduce data columns, as well as filter data. I am trying to prepare some demos, but I do not have any interesting source data. Most of the data I do have, belongs to a client (I am not going there!). The demo should inspire an audience to want to tackle their own data sets with gusto - but if the data is boring, I feel my tool will be guilty of being boring (by association). I suppose it is hard to think what would satisfy a large audience. Customers / Orders = boring (IMHO). Box Office Data might be more interesting. Music Hit Parade data going back to antiquity could interest some audiophiles, but not many other types. I wish my brain were not in lock-down, but I can't think of interesting data themes which one can find relatively cheaply. TIA for any suggestions. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
