This is the right choice! By the way, do you know that Jet Engine is unable
to reuse the free blocks inside the database unless all clients close the
database? If everything else works like this in Jet, no wonder it works like
hell.

Why? The limitations in MS Access doesn't apply to Firebird. You can use a
database formed from multiple files, and never reach the size limit.

You can be sure. A Firebird database can use multiple files.
