This is interesting reading ,and very good to know of. I haven`t tried to optimize/reindex or check the fileintegrity for about two or three weeks ,but it might help a little maybe...but yes ,I am near the limit. Last odd thing I noticed wa yesterday when a person that had 9 children was listed with 10. When I went to the person view on the 10th person it showed that he had other parents than the ones showing 9 children. Then I had to delete both parents on that person ,but still the person was listed with the couple having 9 children. Therefore I also had to delete the 10th child from each of those parents ,and at last again enter the 10th child as a child of his original parents. I am taking daily backups of the project ,and now I am editing one some names and other things. Thought of going through the master place list too. The name search list works OK. I have had trouble with that project before too ,and now realize it must be because of the size. The problem is that I can`t split the project because all people in it are connected to me in some way. I am not going to add more people to the project ,just edit on those already there....so far the program is still working....

I suspect the database file will become corrupted, and TMG will not be able to process that table. The _n.cdx file is the name index. TMG probably won't operate on any project that has a corrupted index file, but having a corrupted name index file seems particularly bad. If you are getting anywhere close to the limit, you should be very, very careful. I do not know if the limit is at exactly 2GB (2,147,483,648 bytes), but if it is, you have about 30MB left and then you will exceed the limit. You should probably consider splitting your project into a separate project. Note that you cannot avoid the problem by using _multiple datasets in the same project_. In a TMG project with multiple datasets, all the datasets share the same set of database files. You need to use completely separate projects. Each TMG project has its own set of database files.
