>I have a file (.dbf) that should only be approximately 100KB in size, but when I look at the file size with Windows NT Explorer, it is over 10x that size. I looked at the file with VFP (3.0) and all looks normal. Any ideas why this file is so large?

RECCOUNT() * RECSIZE() + HEADER() + 1
You need to have the table open in the current work area
