Karsten,

There's no way around this, but you should consider using multiple lists
connected together or perhaps creating a data view in FP2003 instead. Just
because there's a physical limitation (and looking at the numbers it doesn't
look too unreasonable) doesn't mean you can't find a creative way around it,
without making a unmaintainable system.
