my access 2003 database has grown from approx 30,000KB to 130,000KB just
because i have added a few images.

about 20 of my forms have the same image for their background. the image
size is only 100KB.

Why would my database grow so much? am i doing something wrong?

when i insert an image into a form i use from the forms design menu insert -
image.

The compressed version of the form is not what is used if you are using Jpeg or
similar. It is converted to a bitmap (usually a BIG one).

I would just pick a nice background color and leave it at that. The image
backgrounds are seldom used in serious apps for the very reason you are
experiencing.
