I am hesitant to allow a table to exceed 2.5 Gigs but find myself between a rock and a hard place.  If you can't dumplh, how do you fix frame format errors?

<QUOTE>You could use a good hex editor at DOS level, but you'd have to know exactly what you were doing.



Another option would be to mirror-post transactions into many smaller files, and reconstruct if necessary from the mirror records.



Big headache though - especially on resizes - slow on files of such size, in any language.

<QUOTE> If you know the keys, (using another table) you can write a program to copy out the records to another file and apon the message do a programmed escape and call the routine again. You need to be modifiying the key list as you go. I have had good luck with this. Place the rev files on your local drive and resize the destination table.

<QUOTE> I do have a program to get the keys, by reading through the rev file

using OSOPEN. But it takes forever. (100,000 records 3 hours last time I used it)
