access thread: Importing textfiles into access 2000


Message #1 by "Ply" <mail_ply@y...> on Wed, 23 Oct 2002 01:15:00
During imports of textfiles into access, access automatically creates an error table when any conversion
problems occur. This is fine, but this increases the databse by a few Mbytes each time this occurs. How can i 
get back to the original size? I've already tried deleting the error table.

You can also set Access to Compact and Repair automatically

Tools/Options/General/Compact on Close
