I have an access database front end I'm trying to shrink in size, it is 200MB on a good day! If I create one of the forms from scratch or copy and paste the content of the form the file increases by about 100K Max but if I import that form the file increases by 33MB, This also Happens if I try to import reports!

Is there a way to textually display the contents of a form, or possibly fix this issue?

Try compact and repair for your front end issue.

And 200Mb is not really that large. Is this the frontend of a split database? Are you using any images on the forms?
