I've recently completed converting all my db's to access 2007. now i'm noticing seriously ballooning file sizes, even though i've got compact/repair on close turned on.
all of my db's are split into fe's and be's, and it's the fe's that are ballooning (be's are all on sql server). I distribute fe's to each user and keep one "frozen" copy of each fe that never gets used. Now, for example, i have a db where the "frozen" copy is about 4MB, but the copy in use is 35MB. The contents of the db (what's visible to me, anyway) look identical.
any ideas?
