Have you 'Compacted' you .mdb lately?
In the Programs Group there is a utility to backup and 'COMPACT' your .mdb
files.
It's the nature of any .mdb file to grow with age. :-)
Backup your log using the Backup utility and then do a compact.
If you log the size before and after, you may be surprised.
Plus it aids in 'opening' time.

Subject: RE: [Dxbase] Program stops responding
My note below didn't generate any responses. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
I have noticed that the database seems to have grown bigger lately. My
12K
or so QSOs yield a database of about 50MB that goes down to about 9M after
I
compact it. It pretty quickly gets back up to 40-50M, and I don't
remember
that to be the case previously. I did a DB repair too, but that made no
difference to the stability problem.

I recently had to reinstall DXbase (and everything else) after a hard
drive
crash. Since then, I've had several instances of DXbase stopping, so I've
had to kill and restart it.
I don't have any other symptoms, and I haven't noticed any problems with
other programs.
Should I reinstall it over what I have now? I can first save screenshots
of
menus, etc. and the configuration file. Thanks very much.
