Could you please advise the maximum amount of records that
MS Access can store in a table?

(for prurient interest, or is there an underlying business need?)

The theoretical maximum would be something just under 1 Gbyte of rows.  To
reach that, you'd need a single table in your database, with a single,
one-byte field.  1 Gbyte of data (2 in more recent versions, but using
UNICODE, which takes up twice the space) is the max size of a db.

Check Access HELP under "specifications" for more, well, specific info.

Good luck
