Right... It is BLOAT because it does not get released during a normal
compact and repair.  You must pull everything into a new container in order
to get rid of the extra 10MB+ weight that builds up over time.

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.
