Odd Database Size

Hi,

I have experience of strange behavior of my Access 97 database.
I went to the existing database, which has a size of 30mb, and change
three lines of VBA codes behind reports. 15 reports have been
modified. And after compacting database I got 33.5mb database. What
did I change that caused database jump on 3.5 megabytes of size? What
can I do to clean up that absolutely odd behavior of Access 97?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi Alex, use the DECOMPILE command for decreasing the db size. Check
this on Advisor.com site.

Thanks it's works for decreasing a size of the database
(tremendously), but now I can't compile modules. It's keep telling me
that "A module is not a valid type". What do I do to fix it?

Restore from backup?

Sahafay,

I believe you may be able to create a blank database and import all
your objects from the troubled database. See if that clears up your
problem.

Hmmm.....I used Reply to Group and posted a link to a KB article for you approx. 7 hours
ago from work. I don't see this post showing up yet, when I view this thread at home.
Here is my original post again:

Reposted 2nd time -- For some reason unknown to me, answers that I am posting from work
are not showing up in the list when I view the same thread at home much later on.

I posted this answer approx. 16 hours ago the first time....
It shows up in the list of messages when I view them from work, but not from home. Very
strange to me! Anyway, the 2nd link points to the original Cary Prague article on the
topic of large database bloat in Access 97 databases.
