>My DBC seems to have become a huge bloated monster within a project that I use a lot. Is there a way to compress or tidy up my project and reduce the size of the DBC (which is so big I have stopped backing up my work - which means something will go wrong - Murphys Law)
DBC are special tables with memo fileds so they are subject to bloat. You can try two things.
1. Open database mydatabase exclusive - Modify data - Select Database/Clean Up Databse from the menu.
2. If that doesn't work, open the database as a table (i.e. use mydatabase.dbc exclusive) and issue a Pack.
HTH.
