I went through the same issue.. I keep a backup copy of my log on my second computer and my log file had bloated its way up to more than 80 Megs (22,000 Qs). Someone suggested that I find a little program named "access maintainer.exe" and it would do the compacting job. Boy did it ever! My file was reduced to less than 10 Megs and it only takes a moment. I don't remember where I found it but it was free. I guess go to ZDnet or maybe just type the name in Google. This little program should be built into DXBase for sure!
Each time you use it, it will re-expand some but not to the extent that it was and you can use it as many times as you like.

I have just over 24,000 QSOs in the file. Is this normal to increase this much? Thank you.
