How tp Compact a Database

[adwaitjoshi]

I am new to Databasing and I had embedded somepictures in the tables which made the database over 600 Megs. I then changed the embedding option and then just linked those images. Still the database is 600 Megs eventhough it doesnt contain the images now. Is there any way to bring it down?? Please help.

Open up your database and press alt-h on your keyboard.
Then press the 'c' key.




Aren't I the cheeky one today?

Thanx a lot I think the alt + h and c did not work however in tools and options I got a option to compact it. Thanx once again.
