Custom Property Data Limit?

[Marty Knapp]

I just did a test and 200,000 records in my data set (stored as a tab 
delimited custom property) results in a stack of about 46mb. That's well 
under the 4 gig limit that you mention. But it takes a long time to load 
in a datagrid! I have questions about that so I'll start another thread.

Thanks,
Marty
