KB article describes a system table in XP that is not compacted when it should
be. Microsoft confirms that this is a problem and they recommend
developing using the 2000 format when you can.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=911374814-26022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
was developing an ~ 15 Mb database in 2002 format, but it bloated to 3 - 4
times this size, and decompiling/compacting didn't shrink it. I moved
all the objects to a 2000 db file, and then was able to get it back down to
the normal size. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Does anyone know of reasons to chose
the 2002 format over the default 2000 format, or vice versa, in AXP? I
can't think of any reason except to be able to create an mde, which we can't
do with our app anyhow because of the design changes it makes to itself at
runtime.</FONT></P>
