Click on the down arrow to the left of the file menu then go to "design utilities". Click on the "compact" tab and browse to your database. AFAIK, access databases don't actually delete information until manually compacted.
BTW, the design must be closed in the main explorer window for this to work.

After designing a PCB in 99SE SP6 and my database file keeps getting bigger. Of coarse I always save different file names of my design every so often. But here is my question, after I have deleted all the extra files and deleted my recycle bin files why is my database file still very large? I could start a new database with the extracted .pcb file and it seems to keep all the rules and preferences, but is this the only way? I know this has been discussed somewhere, I just couldn't find it in the archive. Thanks, Lomax always has good answers....nay quick answers? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
