Hi There.

I got an Access file (6.5 MB) and I would like to know if there's any way I can compress it after all of the details are inside.

I just want to save space. that's it.

Thanks!

Open the database with Access and then select Tools|Database Utilities|Compact and Repair Database from the menu. Outside of that you're looking at a Zip utility.

Haven't seen anything to that extreme, but depending on what you've been doing, and the last time you compressed it, it's theoretically possible to have a compression of that size.
