IDS *CAN* handle considerably higher than 2Gb limits under 64bit architectuire. I had a client with a single 15Gb chunk and everything was ALMOST fine. The oncheck functions started to fail first after 10-12 Gb - then engine never actually failed but anyones guess as to when it would go. The concensus is that although possible this behaviour is UNSUPPORTED and HIGHLY UNRECOMENDED. Hope this helps. Howard Soper
