change in database size... (1 Viewer)

[sueviolet]

Hi all,

My database seems to have changed size (and the data it contains has not really been changed).


I converted from Access 97 to 2000 and it went from 6.07 mb to 372mb


Any ideas on what happened and how I can change it?

Thanks,

Sue

Access2000 is 'bulkier' than its predecessors...
