Re: HELP Access DB, ASP.NET 2.0 and whole lot of pain



It's also your job to warn your boss when he asks for something that is just
not possible. As a side note, Jet is limited AFAIK to 2 Go (that is you'll
be able to store only 20 files of 100 Mo each). IMO you'll have a similar
limit with MSDE.

Even with a more appropriate DB I would still discuss this requirement. Does
he have a legimate expectation for storing the files in the DB ?
