Ah, sorry, this is really a hard limit in the current ACEDB code. We
use 32 bits for a key for an object, 8 bits for the class and 24 for the
index of an object in the class. It would be a very major restructuring
to change this. You'll have to rethink your design I am afraid, or
rewrite the acedb kernel from the ground up.
