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
