I have a A2000 backend database with appx. 30 users. The front-end size
appear to be stable, but the back-end bloats an additional 2000MB to 8000MB
each day.
I find that after compacting the BE bloats by a few Mb the first day.
This depends on the size of the database. One clients 300 Mb database
would bloat by about 20 Mb by noon the first day. But after that it
only got bigger by 500 kb or so per day.
When the overall size get to above 70MB the database crashes. What
can be causing this?
What do you mean by crash? Do you have a specific error message?
The crashing probably doesn't have much to do with the bloating.
For more information on corruption including possible causes,
determining the offending PC, retrieving your data, links, official MS
KB articles and a list of vendors who state they can fix corruption
