Reduce size of database?

M

Mark

I can delete tables from the database, but it never gets
physically smaller (according to the file size in
Explorer).

Is there an Access utility that can run to reduce it's
physical size after the unwanted objects have been
deleted?

Access does not release the deleted space until you compact the
database.
Tools + Database Utilities + Compact
