Database twice as large after using password

Hi and Thanks in advance,

After inserting 3000 records into our database (MS Access 2000) the size is
17.3 MB. But if we use the User/ Group Permissions to secure our database,
the same 3000 records added will give us a size of 36.2 MB. What causes
such drastic overhead when using the permissions? The only time the
password is required is on startup, correct?
Again, thanks

Sorry, but there is no way that adding user/group permissions would be the
cause of that.

You must be doing something else different.

HTH,

Are these figures both after a compact? Various operations cause a
temporary bloat that can be retrieved by compacting.

I have never seen this sort of bloat due to securing a database. If you
used the security wizard it will by default encrypt the MDB which will
prevent it from being zipped or otherwise file squeezed but it shouldn't
double in size in its normal format.

The passwords are not stored in the database at all just the permissions
to the objects.

Are you using compact on exit?

Yes we are compacting the database before and after the insertions, this is
why this problem seems to be so odd.

Sorry for the last post, we are not compacting the database after the
insertions because the insertions do not complete because we reach the size
limit.

size limit.


What size limit? 3000 records/36Mb is nowhere near any Access size limit!
