Oops. Spoke too soon. My (large) MDB file had one
particularly large system test sitting in it, which gave a Maxlocks error when
trying to discard it.

MaxLocksperFile
I have used the MS-Access Compact/Repair
technique for a long time, and I ensure all old tests are removed.
I can't remember ever having had a MAXLOCKS problem and I have
never touched the Maxlocks setting. My MDB file has been as large as 500 MB.
However, I use WinXP. Perhaps the locks are used differently or are
per-process on XP.
As to the speed of the system tester, I find it
woeful for anything serious, and MS 8.01 didn't change anything in this
regard. So I have switched to Amibroker for system testing purposes.
The Metastock system tester startup time seems to be related to the physical
size of the MDB file.

don't.This is becoming really frustrating. I now have
MaxLocksperFile set at100,000. If that has really improved anything, it
is not very obvious.When ST_Data.mdb gets above 60Meg or so, I get the
error message. Itried running "Discard" several times in a row, but
still got themessage. Then earlier today, after getting the message (I
was tryingto discard one of two Tests), I closed MS, opened the file in
Access(I have Access 2000) and used the Compact and Repair feature.
Thisreduced the size of the file to 43Meg. When I reopened MS, the file
Ihad been trying to discard was no longer listed! But it now takes
over1 minute to open the System Tester.I can't believe we are
the only folks who run into this problem. Maybethe operating system has
some affect. You seem to be able to manage,and have XP. I don't, and
have Win98SE.I know that the size of the ST_Data.mdb file varies
greatly dependingon what indicator you are trying to test. The next time
you get readyto Discard test results, would you open Windows Explorer,
and see howlarge the ST_Data.mdb file is getting? This would help me
determinewhether I am having problems that others don't, or that I am
justcreating larger test files.HarryTo
