[AccessD] Swelling database

If any of them are memo fields then you will have to periodically compact
it. I have posted on memo fields before but basically Access does not
overwrite (for speed reasons) but adds to the end so the grow and grow on
each edit.

Subject: [AccessD] Swelling database

My little database had 575 text entries and was 968 KB in size this morning.
I added 50 text entries that were like the others, compacted it, and it had
grown to 1924 KB!  I had added some query forms but removed them.  Is
something seriously wrong?  What should I do about it?

Thanks!
Barbara
