Limit on Number of Projects in Workspace?

I am converting a fairly large collection of programs (upwards of 80) from a VMS system to Windows N/T using visual fortran 6.6B

As the same dll's come into play, it is convenient to place the entire collection as projects within the same work-space. I was wondering if there is a limitation on the number of projects one can include in a workspace or whether one can expect things to bog down as the number of projects proliferate. Just now, I am at 21 and there seems to be no problem yet.

No limit that we're aware of. It's probably a good idea to avoid hundreds of projects, though...

Our main application currently has 44 FORTRAN and C++ projects in one workspace and we've had no problems with it.

On the first run (compile) after the workspace is opened, it does take a couple of minutes to run through all the project dependencies and includes, but after that it is much quicker.

I remember it did take quite a while to sort out all the project dependencies so that they built in the correct order, but other than that...

Thanks for the replies. The number of projects will be dozens rather than hundreds. So we should be OK in light of this experience.
