i saw a simuliar situation in another group. i also have "large" database.
16mb is not large for dbase. i went from db dos 4-5 to vdb wth about 6 16-67
mb tables.. i keep my dos versions because vdb has no echo function per se.
also with windows or NT get goofy, which is a lot, the dos version is more
stable especially db dos 5. THAT'S a good version.

suggest u look at the group for programming, that's where i think i saw the
simuliar msg.
