Obviously it is possible to put more data in it (with ESRI software ?), but this may lead to problems if the file is used with other software.

Hi Michael,<br>
probably you missed my previous replay:<br>

Size Issues<br>
Geometry: The Shapefile format explicitly uses 32bit offsets and
so cannot go over 8GB (it actually uses 32bit offsets to 16bit
words), but the OGR shapefile implementation has a limitation to
4GB.<br>
<br>
Attributes: The dbf format does not have any offsets in it, so it
can be arbitrarily large.<br>
