Tell the user not just that file is too large to upload but what they need to reduce it to. Maybe even provide some recommendations.

And if there is an answer, could someone please tell me???

I guess it's somewhere between 3.5 megs and 5.7 megs uncompressed and something less than 2.7 megs zipped up.

A technique that I just figured out to reduce the size was deleting the images in the image library. That cut 3 megs out fairly quickly.

I looked but couldn't find an answer as to the max allowed. We always advise to copy the db, compact/repair it, then zip it. That takes care of most cases - unless there are images as attachments, or images that have been embedded in controls such as command buttons. Those can be removed as well, if necessary.

I've increased the upload limit to 5,000KB.
