Subject: RE: [AccessD] db1, 2, 3 ........

Starting with 2000, it is possible for the database to be partially
compiled, which has a major effect on performance.  Sometimes you'll
make a change but the Compile option on the Debug menu in VBE will be
grayed out.  I was assuming that the db1 was the compacted copy, but it
may not be.  Since that is the default suggested for any new file, it
could be something else entirely.   When compact and repair can't
complete, it just names its temporary files db1, db2, etc., starting
with the next number after the highest already existing.

Hello Charlotte,

wat do you mean by partially compiled state?

When the db1 is a compacted copie of the original, its strange that the
db1 is 74 Mb and the original is 8Mb?
