Big database

I'm administrating a FileMaker relational database (4 files) and the MIS is advertising me that one of the files, that include graphics in one field, is growing too much (700MB) and that the server (NT) can not administrate a file of this size (maximum 1GB, but this size can be dangerous for the FileMaker files).

What can I do? I can not have the database without those graphics (each one size is 300K maximum). They told me to fragmentate the database, but this no arrange anything because I will continue having a database with size of 600MB.

Someone can help me?Have I to reduce the size of each graphic contained? To which size? Or have I to fragment this big database in several smaller databases and then relationate all of them?

Thank you.

How are you serving the database? (FMP server/client or via web)
