he said number of records MT not number of charactors. So no need to stick his head on a pike just yet ;) But to answer your question jordan... the idea is that you probably wont run out of rows. 32 bits allow integers to go to some number like 2,147,483,647, and i spose that would be the max. 64 bit processors up that max integer number...
