access 2007 Compact on Close / Runtime

ARC
Hello all,

Due to some users experiencing severe front end bloating (Normal compacted
front end .accdr is 27MB's, FE can bloat to 80-90+Mb's in a day), I want to
enable the "Compact on Close" option on the front end, and distribute in a
runtime installation.

I do have my share of update / append queries, and I've always suspected
that they are the main culprit, but it's hard to say. One strategy I tried
was to move the frequently used temp tables that I have from the program
..mde file to a local workspace.mdb file. My hope was that having a workspace
..mdb with all the temp tables I use for updating / appending, that the
bloating would occur in the workspace.mdb, but I don't think this idea has
really helped.

Anyway, back to the Compact on Close question. Problem is, I tested on a
side win xp machine, and the compact on close caused the program runtime to
stop responding upon exiting the program. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks!

Andy

P.S. I do realize that, with today's huge hard drives, it's not the space on
the disk that is the issue. To me, having a bloat of 3-4X the normal size is
a performance issue, as a 27MB file would naturally load into memory, and
run, faster than a 90MB file.

I know that somethimes when I make changes to the tables (like adding new fields), these changes do not always appear in the field list.

Hello folks, Has anyone ever experienced the Access 2002 runtime crashing when the "Compact on Close" option is set for an MDE file?

I'm running Access 2003, modifying a query that has over 45 fields. When I right click on the field name in Query Design View, and then click Build, Access crashes before the Build window appears. It doesn't happen every time, and using the Zoom window works fine. It appears that it only happens when I want to modify an existing expression. This continues to happen even after the database is repaired and reopened. Anyone have any...

I have a weird problem in Access 2007. I've been working in A07 for about 2 weeks when this thing began occurring. I'm working in the VB Code Editor and set break points for event procedures. The weird thing is sometime the code breaks and sometimes it doesn't at the very same spot. Does someone know if this is a bug in A07? I'm stumped Lou

We are currently converting from Access 2003 to Access 2007. I have an Access app that is going to be very difficult to convert. This App is used by people that are out in the field and are a long distance from where our Access Databases are. So that is why we have Replication set up. So they have a local copy that they can replicate to our copies when they are in a high speed area. Since they have data on their local laptop we use...

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

Sorry for the long post, I've tried so hard to solve this one but I'm just stuck! We've had a multiuser .mdb file on a network share for years. I know it's not ideal, but it's worked well from Access 2000 to 2003. Ever since we upgraded to 2007, we've noticed some serious bloating. When we were on 2003, after a fresh compact, the database would be at about 20 MB. After normal use it would grow to about 25 MB and then significantly...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
