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. <http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0008.htm> http://www.mvps.org/access/bugs/bugs0008.htm <http://www.trigeminal.com/> http://www.trigeminal.com/ <http://www.trigeminal.com/michka.asp?1033> http://www.trigeminal.com/michka.asp?1033
