How can you determine what size M$ thinks the db is vs. the 16gb limit in standard edition? If I look at it from command prompt, the .edb is about 9.8gb and the .stm is about 2.6gb. I can't seem to remember this offhand? Regards, Mike Liddekee Network Engineer Humco Holding Group, Inc. 7400 Alumax Dr. Texarkana, TX 75501 Ph: (903) 831-7808 ext 697
