[Papyrus-L] Papyrus 7.0.17 - problem inputting new references

[Raisa Deber]

I don't think it is a Papyrus limit, since the manual says "Program  
Limits
The total number of references, abstracts, comments and notecards in  
your database cannot
exceed 2 million (approximately- the exact number depends on the  
actual length of your
comments and abstracts).
No individual field within a reference or notecard can exceed 8,000  
characters. However, you
may attach an unlimited number of notecards to each reference."

So it does look like a systems issue rather than a DOS issue per se,  
since 100,000 is still considerably less than 2 million, even if each  
does have abstracts and comments and notecards.
Sorry can't help more, since I don't use Windows and don't know if  
there are some settings that can be tweaked to give you more disk  
space.  I'm a worse die-hard than you - I'm clinging to my PowerPc  
Mac so I can keep using Papyrus (right now, trying to get my case  
studies book off to the publisher).  My current annoyance is the  
refusal to allow commas in corporate authors :)
