Since I converted to V8 my #1 file is about 4x larger and #3 file 2x larger Could that be a problem?
No. That is not the problem. FWIW, bigger space is needed for handling and storing of bigger index pointers in Turbo V-8 and R:eXtreme 9.0 (64). It comes down to 32 bit pointers used in 7.x and 9.0 (32) versus 64 bit pointers in Turbo V-8 and 9.0 (64). Thus the difference in size. Support for naming convention of up to 128 characters for databases, tables, views, forms, labels, reports, indexes, variables will also add space in #1 file. Your problem may be related to your legacy structure and data normalization. You may need to re-visit your schema when taking advantage of the latest & greatest versions of R:BASE. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
