[Dxbase] Program stops responding

[FireBrick]

Jim
Have you 'Compacted' you .mdb lately?

In the Programs Group there is a utility to backup and 'COMPACT' your .mdb 
files.
It's the nature of any .mdb file to grow with age. :-)

Backup your log using the Backup utility and then do a compact.
If you log the size before and after, you may be surprised.
Plus it aids in 'opening' time.
