Charles,

I was under the impression that was the *definition* of bloat.  Doris
did point out that she only recovered the space when she copied into a
new container, not just when she closed and reopened the adp.

Doris,

That is not bloat.  That is the normal action of Access when it needs
temporary space that it then releases when it is through with it.  Bloat
is when it grabs space and does not release it when it is no longer
needed.

There may not be any tables but the bloat still applies... I have one
ADP that balloons up to 38MB and then shrinks down to 25MB when I pull
everything into a new container.
