Emailing A Table Increases File Size
Apr 4, 2006
Hi,
I am trying to send a "EMP" table in an excel format using "SendObject". User clicks the "Send Mail" button to email the table in excel file. The user then clicks on the "Exit" button to exit. This wipes out the data in the table "EMP" as was expected. Every thing goes fine..... but the size of my database increases by more than 100 MB. (Note that the table in the data has been deleted & the data is around 59 MB).
Any suggestions on what could be causing this increase in file size.
Thx in advance,
Jatz

Hi,
I got a question related to a database with a frontend and backend.
It seems that every time I make a minor adjustment to the frontend its size increases.
i.e. My frontend was about 2 MB. I made an extra report which I later removed. I quit access and look at my frontend database, the size is now allmost 6 mb!
How is this possible?

I have an Access 2010 database .. and will be adding about 25,000 records a day to it. So it will get pretty big fast .. so 9 million a year. Is this too big for Access ?? Or is it more a issue of file size .. I know that Access 2010 can go up to 2 GB. I am interested in how I can maximize my performance and not have the database.The data is as follows .. One table. The other tables will be small, just this one will increase in size really.
Id .. Autonumber (primary key)
When .. datetime
Radio .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Group .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Type .. text 4
TransType .. text 2
I am considering a purge of old records if needed .. like only keeping the most previous 5 million records or some reasonable number. Like .. then I would think I should try to number my records backwards (using long int rather than autonumber and number records backwards on import) .. ie record 1 would be the most recent one and only keep the last X number of them for performance reasons.

Hello all,
I would like, from a form, to get the file size of a particular file.
I would really like something like: FileSize("C: estfile.exe")
I am sure I have had something like this before, but cannot for the life of me find the answer I originally got!
Thanks!

Hi, I was recently searching on the site for information leading to the compiling of an .exe file from the Access database. What I come to realize is that this is not possible. I was led to the MS Visual Studio 2005 for MS office studio and the MS Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions for it to use the Access runtime (As I came to understand) without having to install Access. If I am at all wrong up to this point please let me know. I was just wondering about that for clarification, my real concern is regarding the size of my database and the problem making it into an MDE.
As of now, my program is at roughly 30 mb, which I did not think was too incredibly large. However, Access will not allow me to create the MDE file. Where I think my problem is lying is that I have images scanned into the DB and then text boxes on top allowing me to essentially type a form and print it out.
Is there a better, more size efficient way of doing this? I have a hunch that it is the images that are not allowing for the MDE export, but I did not think they were all too large in size. If anyone has any comments that may help I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
-Bob

Hi all,
I have developed a Access program which import excel tables into the the database and queries some data and writes it into an excel file...
The problem I am having is that after the program is loaded... the file size of my mdb file increase by more than 3 mb..
I tried deleting all the objects in the file.. and the size doesnt reduce at all,
When I import tables, I delete the previous one.. so I don't think it would be that...
The only thing I think the problem mite be is the life line of the variables..
Is it that after I run the program... the Variables stays there and ocupies space...??
afaik, the variables "dies" after the program is finished loading....
if not, is there a way to "kill" the variable at the end of the program?
so far, at the end of the program, I have set my objects = nothing.. to release them... but doesnt seem to help at all
any idea on what this problem mite be??
Thanks in advance..

Yesterday my DB was 5MB. Today its 50MB. I haven't embeded any images etc... I can't see any reason why the DB would expand like this. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps there is a variable somewhere that allocates memory. What should I be looking for??
Any ideas are much appreciated.

Hi
I have created a db and am having serious problems, the size of the complete db is 3mb, and when split its 500k, the trouble I am having is that when putting the db on the network server and you try and open it based from home it takes so long for both the full db and the split.
The main db has one page that all staff need to see and have a quick response when opening on VPN client.
The form I want to open has a combo box that lets the employee select the company and all the information updates on the form.
I tried making a page in acces to do the same thing but having problems
Is this possible what I am trying to do or is there an easy faster option.
Thanks for your help

I had a massive Access file of almost a GB in size. and I deleted all records off the tables hoping it would shrink and my purpose was to have the tables alone in their structures. However despite deleting all records, the database file size seems to stay the same. anybody knows why this is so? I don't think we can "commit" changes to databases done in access as it is done in other databases. anybody knows why this is so?

I have a strange issue. First off I have a front end in Access 2000 as a MDE file linked to a mdb data file.
Issue number 1: The MDE file almost doubles in size daily. Yes, the mde file not mdb (it grows slowly and expectedly as data is added and deleted) . I expected the MDE file to stay a static size. Is this normal, what causes this?
Issue number 2: I had on 3 occasions a query in the mde file suddenly pop up with a ”cannot repeat table name ‘Nameoftable’ in FROM clause”. I go into the mde file, SQL query view and delete the extra table name and all is fine for awhile. After the second time I did away with that quey and rewrote the query for my form a different way. It’s come back once again now for anther table. Has anyone heard of Access doing this?
I also note that the modified date of the file keeps changing. I am wondering if someone is tampering. My client that has this software is very naïve.
The MS site has no information regarding either behaviour.
Any ideas?
Jim

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have some databases that I am importing data into but the records are so large (over 4 to 6 million) that they are making the file reached the 2 gig maximum.
Questions:
1) I have the imput tables broken down in to thirds of a month (i.e. Day 1 to Day 10, Day 11 to Day 20, Day 21 to Day 31) so what I was thinking is that there might be a way to just like three different databases together or four and have one be the master puller of the other three?
2) Currently, I have reports and queries that pull from one large table. So how would I set up the query reports etc. to pull from all three databases into one reports or query. Or is this not possible.
If you think of a better way to arrange or work around this problem then I am surely open to suggestions.
Thanks,
beachdude

Is it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).

I'd read a few places that embedding pics wasnt the greatest of ideas, but I thought that 1 JPG embedded onto 2 forms would be ok and would prevent the pic from being deleted or moved. (Theyre always screwing with the server here.) But it's making my DB huge.
No pics embedded
Size: 808kB
1 Pic Embedded into 2 forms
Pic Size: 156k JPG
DB Size: 135 MB
Is this normal? I could understand a 156k pic adding somewhere around 156k to my DB, but 134 megs? Anyone have any insight?

Morning all,
I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.

I have been using access 2003 at my work place.
When I bring back my access 2003 project from work back home, i open the project at home, I am using access 2002 or 2000 format.
Then I notice if I save a copy of my work using access 2002, while initially using an access 2003 database, the file size decresaseas dramatically, from like 3mb to 800 kb?
any reason why?
No data seems 2 be lost.
Cheers!

I'm having a problem with my database filesize getting larger with the more searches i do. At first i couldn't figure out how it was getting so big, but then i tried a few things and came to the conclusion that every time i do a search it increases its filezile.what made me notice this at first is that the file size of the original copy of my db is 13MB, but if i Save As a different name, like Assets_Backup, then the size of the new file is only 2MB, and after i do some searches it increases again.here is a file with just my search form and search query so you can see the code for them. i removed everything else to shrink the file down, which also made the search form not function properly, but i thought the design and code might be enough.is there something that i can change to keep it from remembering every search?thanks for any help.--------------------after searching the topic a bit more i've found that compacting the database will shrink it down to 2MB, but is this something that will have to be done on a regular basis, or is there a way for it to do it on its own?

I have a field in my database (I'm using Access 2007) configured as Attachment under the DataType column on DesignView.
I was expecting to find an option to limit the attachment size (max 250Kb) and more importantly to limit the filetype you can actually upload. In my specific case only jpg should be attached.

I have a table with all of the relevant data.
I want to automate an email to each one with the information that is held in the table. Much like a mail merge.
The email would be in one field.T
The subject would be: "Your item[ Item Name] has been shipped."
The body of the email would be: "Thanks for buying [product] on [date of purchase] etc etc."
My only problem is that I'm shit at code so I wanted to know if I could do it with Macros.
I could do it through a combination of using max records: sending an email, then repeating the exercise until all of my records have been sent.

Am I right in thinking that the a listbox.itemcount increases by 1 if you include headers.
ie - the headers are counted as a row?
