Graphics in reports

[Guest]

Hi,

I just added 4 reports to my db. Each report is about two pages and pulls
data from memo fields in a table. The four report also have a total of 14
graphics (jpg average 50k each). My db went from 7mb to 16mb. What is
taking up all the room? The graphics would be about 700k. What is taking up
the other 8mb?

Is it the jpg's? Should I use a different graphics format?

Thanks,

The bloat comes from the graphics. A possible solution is to leave the
graphics in separate files and load them into your reports when the reports
run. There might be some information for you at
