[AccessD] Swelling database

I still have the Access 2000 Developer's Handbook (Getz, Gilbert, Littwin)
on my desk and use it frequently. My copy is getting pretty beat up.  It's
the Bible and has lots of code on a CD that you can cut and paste.
Everything's in there.

All of the above, although really only one major table/form plus a few
queries.  Lots of text in memo fields but only nine fields.  Really simple
and dumb.  I'm learning a lot from you.  (Does anyone know of a good basic
manual?  I think I've seen them all and they never have what I'm looking
for.)  Thanks again, B.

Is it just tables in your db or forms/report/queries etc., as well?

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
