Rows

What is the maximum number of rows & columns access can hold?

Edited on Thu 1 Feb 2007, 14:16

RE: Rows

Max Fields (Columns) = 255
Max Records = none specified. This is limited by the size of the whole database and the storage capacity available.

RE: Rows

Hi Lisa

Thanks for your question. An Access 2003 table can hold up to 255 fields (or columns) and Access can handle up to 2048 open tables. If your database is on this scale however you would probably be better looking at moving up to a more powerful database solution like Microsoft SQL.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
