Re: how to copy a file with size .. I dont want to let this saga stop!!
If it contains no ole-fields, and no binary data
i.e all the field's data can be put in ascii form, then you can think of saving it as some ascii file
CSV format is directly compatible.
You can have your own INI-based format too.
I had compressed a 300+KB mdb to ~10k by INI-method (for bkup purpose) and you can write a small app that saves & restores.
But then, as the size grows, the saving may not be in the same percent-range!! For my case, the unwanted header of mdb could be more than data.
But this header would remain same, even as data grows.. so..
Re: how to copy a file with size greter than 1.44 mb to a floppy wihtout using any zip utility or wi
Right click on the 6mb file and select send and click on 3.5 Floppy (A).
If you are lucky you'll not get an error message
If you're not lucky you'll get an error message at this point you need to call microsoft helpdesk, and explain exactly what you are trying to do i.e. copy 6mb to 1.44mb.
I also suggest you call NASA, and tell them you're you're trying to create energy from no where and trying to disproove the law of conservation of energy.
hope this helps

Superdisks are 120mb. They can also read/write normal 1.44mb floppys. Also, there is a Zip drive which is 250mb (~£60 UK for drive, £5 for disk).
