My forum is pushing the 7,000 post point and its still on Access. I thought it would start getting unstable at that size. . . .

Access instability is based more on the number of concurrent users rather than the size of the database. Searching your database will get a bit tricky however, so you might want to consider paring that down a bit...

davemaxwell is 100% correct. I don't think it's the "amount" of data, it's actually the concurrent connections to that database. When it hits anything over 10-15 concurrent usrs, you might be faced with losing all your data. Sorry but that's the plain truth and I hope you're backing up this important database constantly.

If you have that many messages, etc... you might consider upgrading to SQL Server.

Cheers,
Tim

thanks for the help guys. I don't think I'll have to worry then. (I have never seen more than 4 people on at a time)
