Glen,
As a regular user of Open Office I would strongly advise caution on using it
to amend one's files. I am not sure about compression (haven't tried it) but
changing a file in OOo's Base (equivalent to Access) and then saving it as a
.mdb file may cause errors. So any work should be done on a copy of the file
and thoroughly tested on/with a scrap .fdb file before incorporating back
into Legacy.
Good advice whenever using Access anyhow :-)

It is an MS Access file. You might try to find a friend with Access 2000
or try the free OpenOffice.org product and see if Base will work and
compress the file for you.

Glen,
I have checked and I do not have MS Access 2000. Is there another way to do
this I have tried opening it several ways but no luck.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
If you have MS Access 2000, you can open the .IGI file in Access and
compact
the file.
When you save entries and then delete them, the database doesn't
automatically release the place holder for that data.
