Does anyone know if VFP 8 has any problems with files over 2 gigabytes as
previous version have done, or have microsoft sorted that out?
Thanks

No, there is still a 2 gig limit. And this is more a design issue than a
problem. If you expect your tables hit the 2 gig limit, then consider using
a database server like Oracle or MSSQL, or split your large table in two or
more subsets. See http://www.advisor.com/Articles.nsf/aid/MATIV02 for more
info.
