[dba-SQLServer] Upload documents with MSAccess FE

The reason this is occurring is that Access also stores the program 
that opens the file.
You need to use a VB/c# program to store the file instead of Access. 
then you will get only the file stored as a binary.

The overhead with Access is why everyone says not to store the file 
inside of the database.  But, it is limited to an Access 
thing.  Using a different program to load the file will keep the 
bloat from happening.
