Back and front end sizes.

[pekajo]

Hi,
I have just split my database and can anyone tell me why the frontend is 26mg and the backend is only 2mg.
Surely the frontend being only text should not be that large?
If this is a fact can I reduce the frontend size, I have tried the the compact.

Hi. You may have it backwards. The FE could be bigger because it should contain forms and reports with images and also all the source and compiled code. On the other hand, the BE could be smaller because it only contains the data.

Good points

Also, if you have ANY embedded objects (OLE or Attachment) they are in the FE, not in the BE.
