Here is one solution to Access database bloat issue.
I cam across this solution while looking for an answer
to another problem.
With the example below, a 50 megabyte MDB file went down to
ten megabytes and it became a little more snapper.
1). From the run command I issued the fillowing line.
C:\OfficeW2k\Office\msaccess.exe /decompile
"C:\KateUpload\zEmp027c2.mdb"
2). After the decompile was finished I opened up the Access
MDB file, went to modules. Open one of them modules in
design mode and did a Compile then file on the menu line
and Saved everything.
Going from 50 down to 10 megabytes is a big improvement.
Please are there are warning not to over used the decompile switch.
For more information please look at the following web sites.
