Speaking from experience, it is also a concern for ADP files.

Does that mean this is not a concern for ADP files? --Susan -----Original Message----- From: Dan Waters [mailto:dwaters at usinternet.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 8:54 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Access 2002 database format Charlotte - Here is something to be aware of. Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 810415 Access 2002 Format Database Bloat Is Not Stopped by Compacting http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810415 The KB article describes a system table in XP that is not compacted when it should be. Microsoft confirms that this is a problem and they recommend developing using the 2000 format when you can. I was developing an ~ 15 Mb database in 2002 format, but it bloated to 3 - 4 times this size, and decompiling/compacting didn't shrink it. I moved all the objects to a 2000 db file, and then was able to get it back down to the normal size.

I can't think of any reason except to be able to create an mde, which we can't do with our app anyhow because of the design changes it makes to itself at runtime.
