What it means to 'distribute' your OneSource Company Data file

  • By default, OneSource uses 1 single Company Data file.  This works great unless your company begins to approach the 2 gigabyte MS Access database size limit.  If this happens to your company then you can makes use of the 'Distributed Database' option.
  • When you turn on the Distributed Database option OneSource distributes (moves) your most database intensive tables into 13 smaller data files.  (See the list of databases created in the section below called: 'Distributed Data Files'.

How to 'distribute' your OneSource Company Data file

  • Click Tools > Company Setup & Preferences > Global (tab) > Select 'Link to a Distributed Set of Company Data Files’. 
  • Next ‘File’ menu and select ‘Link to company Data File’
  • Click Update Table, then click the (newly enabled) Create Distributed Database button.  Then click Yes when prompted to create the files.
    • If you get a Process Terminated popup stating: 'Default.mdb' file not exist in Data File Path. Create a new MS Access database in the same directory of your original OneSource Company Data file, and then click the Create Distributed Database button again.
