Greeting to all,

Sturecs.dbf 2.33mb
Sturecs.fpt 181.00mb
Sturecs.cdx 124.00kb

Sturecs = student records table, it has 1472 records

Field Name Data type Width
Picture Picture
Studidn Character 8
LAstname Character 25
Firstname Character 25
Midname Character 25
and others.....

My question is, how come the .dbf is small in size while the .fpt file is big? and is there a way to keep it small in size?

Thanks...
