Designing database - continues to grow in size

As I create tables, establish relationships (i.e. no data yet) - the size of
the .mdb file continues to grow. So I have ~ 20 tables several
relationships .. BUT NO DATA ... and the file is up to 11 meg (early on it
was very small - then a few changes later - up to 3 meg. More changes and
now up to 11 meg). It seems as if the changes are being stored or some such
thing? What is leading to this size growth?

Any and all pointers/information much appreciated.
