I have been doing some work over the last week or so learning how to use images in forms and trying to find the best way to display them - as you may have realised from other questions that I've recently posted to this list.
Having got, more or less, what I wanted to do to work I decided to reload the database just to remove the small amount of wasted space I knew that I had created. I was surprised to see that the RB4 file was over 61mb before I ran the reload and it shrunk to just less than 1.75mb afterwards - which is what I would have expected it to be. So where did another almost 60mb come from? I've made lots of changes to 2 or 3 forms but they are all very simple forms with less than a dozen variables altogether. I've also repeatedly created a temporary table that held a few images for me to experiment on. I could easily imagine this reaching 60mb over time. I can also imagine that I may have created the table as a permanent one by mistake once but I don't remember trace warning that the temp table was a duplicate at any time and it didn't exist when I did the reload. This leads me to ask whether R:Base has to store images in a temporary table in the RB4 file?
