Maybe I'll have time to sort through my changes on the weekend. Does your database by any chance contain large Memo fields? One workaround could be to compile MDB Tools with a larger bind size (I think the default is 10000, try using 200000). The bind size is declared in mdbtools.h, I think.

Jakob,

thanks for that hint. You're right, the database contains some large 
memo fields. After increasing the bind size and rebuilding mdb-export 
(as well as my PHP script making use of the mdbtools binding) runs 
through - great!

However, i understand that this is a temporary fix? Would be great to 
get access to the patch you mentioned...

I'll send it to you in private mail.

thanks!
