Courtney-
This is something that has concerned me a little bit. Simply clicking
on Empty Entries does not seem to delete the obsolete spots. Only doing
that causes my n4al.mdb file to grow without bound. Someone on this
reflector clued me in to the solution: start Access and use
Tools->Database Utilities->Compact Database, which works.
Ideally, we should not have to use another program to eliminate obsolete
DX spots from our DXbase data base.
