Database Size

P

Playa

I am creating a new database and it is already almost 4MB in size. The
database isn't that big yet and has only a little bit of data in it. It has
a couple of pictures in it from clip art but those are only a few KB. I even
deleted the pictures ran a compact and the size barely changed. I have......

14 Tables
4 Queries
11 Forms

Any one know why it could be getting so big already?

Storing pictures in your database can cause the database to bloat quite a
bit. You should simply store the path to the image file and display it when
you need it through code.
