Hi there

I need to perform quite tricky calculations (too tricky to be done using SQL
statements in a straightforward way) on fairly large datasets (too large to
be kept practically in Excel workbooks).

I keep the data in Access and retrieve the necessary data piecemeal using an
ADO connection from Excel.

I've reached the 2GB size limit on an Access database, so I'm keeping the
data in multiple files, which needs quite careful tracking, several ADO
connections and many recordsets.

I'm thinking of upgrading to SQL Server, which doesn't have the 2GB limit.
Is there likely to be a performance improvement, other things equal of
course?

Best regards
Loane
