Hi, Just created my first database, which has 8 fields. I put in 271 records, each of which has only a tiny amount of data. The XML dump of the whole thing is 77KB. But the ".blb" file for the same database is 60 MB. Just trying to figure out if this is normal. (WinXP, Director MX) -SR Scott Runkel Director of Technology 503-722-2123
