vba - What is the best way to prevent Access database bloat -
intro:
i creating access database system rolled out multi-user functionality. creating database in access 2000 (old school know) there quite lot of bugs , random mysterious problems occur when database gets passed 40-60mb.
my question:
has got solution how can shrink down or prevent bloat?
details:
i using many local tables combined sql tables , front-end links back-end sql server. have tried compact , repair ever shrinks 15mb , after user has used database few time bloat expands on 50-60mb!
let me know if more detail needed rough outline of problem.
many thanks!
here's ideas follow.
you said have lot of local tables. split local tables off yet access database. you'll have 2 back-ends (1 sql server & 1 access), , front end.
create batch file opens local tables backend database /compact option. so, this:
"c:\prog...\microsoft...\officexx\ c:\projectx_backend.mdb /compact"
then run batch file on daily basis using scheduled tasks. frontend should never need compacting unless edit in way.
