Currently my data storage in MS Access of NSE data from year 2000 to current date amounts to 220 MB. I still use the utility. I have been told usually MS Access supports storage up to a maximum of 75-100 MB. Regards,

Hence, patternz fails to read the file.

Any idea how to correct the header or eliminate it completely?
