What is the maximum number of records Access can hold?

14 New Member
Hello,

I need to know what is the maximum number of records Access can hold?

I need approx. 6 million records, do you know if Access can hold this amount?

Thank you everyone.

Don't even think about it!... use SQL Server to hold the data and frontend into the database using Access if you like

Regards

It's a max of 2 Gb that Access can hold in one database. There's no limit on the number of records. So 6 Mb records allow for a recordsize of approx 333 characters.
There's also no limit when linking to tables in other 2 Gb databases :-)
