Once upon a time, I created a Briefcase which converted my database to a
Design Master. This was fine, but now I no longer need to move my database
around. It's not bothering me too much to leave it as a Design Master except
the file size is about twice the size of pre-Design Master file.

Is there any way to undo this and make it a "regular" data base?

FWIW, it's an Access 2002 file.

TIA,

See question 10 in the FAQ of my Jet Replication Wiki:

This is an awfully frequently-asked question. Can someone (Arvin?)
put this on the Access web?
