I have a client who uses Business Contact Manager. &nbsp;The database resides on his PC and is shared with 2 other users. &nbsp;He can't add a record because it reports that he's exceeded the maximum size of 4GB (SQL Express limitation). &nbsp;However, the file size is 3.4GB. &nbsp;<br />
If I select Manage Databases / Check for Errors, it returns with a message there is a problem with the data file and we need to restore. &nbsp;<br />
The most recent backup is a couple days old and it would be painful to lose those couple of days worth of data.<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions?
