I have a client that uses a Access 95 database for his inventory and sales tracking that pops an error since we upgraded his computer to 2.8 with 2 GB of ram error reads "out of memory". Found a post on the Microsft site that says 95 has a 1 GB limitation but thought some one out there might know a work around. I can not successfully convert to a newer version of access as it corrupted the database and makes the inventory piece unreadable. Any help or ideas would be great to update the acess or get around the memory limitaion.

It's probably going to be less work in the long term to just upgrade and then resolve the issues. Try splitting the database and get the tables into their own system and then upgrade the rest, linking in to the tables for both the 95 version and the new one--this way, entry can continue using the old system while the updated version is repaired. More work now, but much easier for future maintenance.
