Hello everyone, I have searched around the web and cannot find any more
information on this topic.
I'm hoping that some intelligent programmer in this group can help me out.
I have an Access 2K database with 2.5 million records in it. The database
is approximately 260Mb in size.
I was having a problem with updating the records because the MaxLocksPerFile
were set to 9500 (default). I then changed this value to 200K by editing
the registry. The database now functions correctly.
1. Will this change to my registry adversly affect my other databases?
(PS. I do know how to change the MaxLocks temporarily without editing the
registry).
2 There is no documentation (that I can find) that will explain how many
locks are needed for X number of records.
3. How can I figure out how many locks I need based on the number of
records I have? Is there an formula to do this?
Thanks to all that can help
Paul
