Colossal file?

Ken,

We've not heard of this problem before. Is the problem reproducible? If so, please mail to support@apl2000.com a copy of your workspace so we can investigate the matter. It would help if your example had the minimal code necessary to reproduce the problem.

Here are some additional questions:

1.    Is the colossal file on a local or network drive?
2.a. If a local drive, what is your operating system and the type of hard drive (IDE/SATA)?
2.b. If a network drive, what is the operating system of the network server?

It's possible that the issue is in how your drive is formatted. Note that a drive formatted as FAT32 supports a maximum file size of only 4 GB whereas NTFS supports a maximum file size up to the capacity of the disk.

Many thanks for the quick response, guys. I'm not accustomed to using such large files, so I overlooked the FAT32 limitation. I suspected the explanation would be a simple one!
