In the new database:
1. 1. Uncheck the boxes under:
Tools | Options | General | Name AutoCorrect
Explanation of why:

2. Compact: Tools | Database Utilties | Compact.
3. Then decomile. Enter something like this at the command prompt while
Access is not running. It is all one line, and include the quotes:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe" /decompile
"c:\MyPath\MyDatabase.mdb"
4. Compact again.
In some versions, you may still see a small increase in size, but not a
doubling.

Is there any reason why my db would almost double in size after I
copied everything to a new db after my old one became corrupted? Is it
anything to worry about?
Thanks - David
