Hi,

I have created a MS Access Database and pushing in some tables from SQL Server Database through DTS package. The reason is that the client needs the data in MS Access format.

Every thing is perfect but when I'm deleting the records in the Access database (.mdb) file, the file is not getting compacted to the original size i.e., the initial size of the .mdb file is 140 KB and after the first set of data is pushed it is 2.1MB and before the next set of data is pushed, I'm deleting the records from the .mdb database tables. The records are getting deleted from the tables, but the file size remains the same i.e., 2.1MB

Can anyone out there help me give a solution for my problem.

Thanks in advance.

perhaps this might help...

not sure it is ideal to compact a database in this manner but give it a test and see what happens.
