Database won't grow or compact

60
Hi,

My database won't grow in size even if I add another table of data. It also doesn't get smaller when I compact it. I noticed it was huge after I finished writing my code but when I moved all the forms and tables to a new databse it shrunk considerably but it still seems frozen in size. Any ideas? I'm using Access 2003
