Hi Jim I work with Access 200 and 2003 I get good results with this method -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim DeMarco Sent: Saturday, 6 November 2004 1:01 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] A2K3 Bloating Thanks Darren. Is this db you're compacting in 2002/2003 format or 2000? As I understand it a 2002/2003 format file would not compact down like that.

I get into the code area and compile it I have an icon Called DECOMPILE in the SendTo folder of AllUsers that points to C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Office\OfficeXX\MSACCESS.exe /decompile (Replace the path with your Access Path) Then I right click the dB or the db's shortcut icon and click SendTo and select DECOMPILE Then I get into the dB and Compact and repair it. I can get a 9 meg monster down to about 1.8 - 2 megs Do it every time I deliver a fresh version or app HTH See ya DD -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Charlotte Foust Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2004 7:44 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] A2K3 Bloating What file format are you using?
