Number of files in 1 folderHi
I was advised that one shouldn't store too many files in the same folder as it will slow down the access of the file , can anyone suggest how many is too much Thank you, Samuel Shulman "Samuel Shulman" <samuel.shul***@ntlworld.com> wrote in message Maybe 200 - 500?

In general though, DOS used to have a 512 file limit in the root directory (may still be true). Unlimited in subdirectories.... so, aim for a 512 max since DOS had no problems with that many, regardless of where they were stored. -- Ken Halter - MS-MVP-VB (visiting from VB6 world) - http://www.vbsight.com Please keep all discussions in the groups..
