CDaoDatabase Field Limit?

Does anyone if there is a limit on the number of fields or the number of
tables in an Access97 database?

My code suddenly won't compile after I have added a few fields in one table
and I wonder if I have exceeded something?

If Yes, then does anyone know any workarounds?

How the hell could code not _compile_ if you exceeded a _runtime_ limit? Do
you think DAO architects told the compiler maintainers "when you are
compiling DAO, check nobody declares more than X number of fields in a
table"?
If Yes, then does anyone know any workarounds?

Thanks for that - is your middle name sarcasm perhaps??

My mistake - I meant the but won't run (it compiles OK) - it fails to append
the table to the database.

I meant to say, the code no longer RUNS (it compiles just fine)!

Thanks, that is exactly the information I need, only I am linking to
Access97 and these figures are for Access2000. Is there an Access 97 version
of this info?

Thanks.

There is a specification document for Access 97 database on Microsoft
website somewhere but I could not find it. Have a look through the documents
online, its in there somewhere, I thought I had a copy of it but I don't.
Would think the specs are very similar to 2k.

Gareth and Gav:

*Please* cease discussion of this topic on this newsgroup.

This newsgroup is for discussion of ISO standard C++ issues
only. Gareth, how you decided that MS Access is topical here
is beyond me.

Purpose of comp.lang.c++:

If you want to find a forum where MS Access is topical, visit

Thank you.
