File grew too big

[Roy]

I have a 3000 line schedule that was typically about 7M in size. I recently
updated it by adding a new resource and now it is at 187M. What happened?

Maybe corruption? Try exporting a copy of the file to XML and back into
MPP. See if that reduces the size.

Saved it under a new name - fell back from 187Meg to 5.7 Meg.

Thanks
