I'm new with Access. Is there a limit to the number of
records you can have in the database?
 
not number of records, but total table size has a limit. open Access Help,
and type

specifications

you'll get a complete listing of specs for all access objects (everything
you ever wanted to know, and more).

No explicit limit on the number of records; 2 GByte (two billion
bytes, a *lot* of data) in any single .mdb file.

In practice if you have over 10,000,000 records in your largest table
you should be seriously looking into client-server. Maybe sooner,
maybe later - I know of one Access app with some 50,000,000 records
stored in multiple .mdb files.
