>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?

Here is the formula to figure out what the file size is for a DBF.

RECCOUNT() * RECSIZE() + HEADER() + 1

You need to have the table open in the current work area
