How is it when I used the icon for (Update Database) my DB size went from
24,000KB to 9,000KB
 
Hi Bob,

Did you mean to write Backup Database instead of Update Database? I suspect
that your original database may need to be compacted. In Access 2003, click
on Tools | Database Utilities | Compact and repair database. Then check it's
initial size. If you are using Access 2007, click on the Office button, then
select Manage, followed by Compact and repair database.
