Robert,

It's normal. Xbase has never been good about the problem of memo bloat, and VFP just deletes records and reappends them when you change table structures etc... Think of it as a form of version control *g*

Once your database stabilizes it won't be a real problem.

>I have been noticing that database containers get HUGE, even after working with them a short period of time. I have been issuing the Clean Up Database command, but I am wondering if I am doing something wrong to create this problem.
