[Dxbase] Database size

[Joseph Glockner]

Tony and all:

BE CAREFUL -- the LINK that you spoke about Tony is
"" NOT "" usable for ACCESS 97 files ... Here are the exact
words from that webpage:


//quote//

WARNING: Do not use this program with Access 97 replica databases.

I already passed Chuck the LINK to my website's Access Maintainer
version 1.2.0 ---- THAT version is kosher for our database files..


Chuck - FYI - once you use the accesss maintainer -- you should end
up with about 5 Megs in size .... you can use it as often as you wish.
