Hi Debra.

>Why does the Reindex() function increase the size of my DBC/DCT/DCX? Should I be issuing some type of PACK DATABASE?

Because in order to recreate the indexes for the table, it has to delete the existing records for those indexes in the DBC. New copies of those records are then created as the indexes are created. I considered doing a PACK DATABASE at the end, but that requires exclusive access to the DBC to work, and I can't guarantee that'd be the case. So, simply do your own PACK DATABASE.
