Newbies rgaskell Posted June 26, 2001 Newbies Share Posted June 26, 2001 Can anyone tell me if Filemaker's auto recover function actually reduces file size? as one of our corporate databases has reached the 2Gb limit imposed in v4.13 If not, does anyone know of a way to access the data it contains as at the moment I can't access it and the backup I have is a rather old vintage.

LiveOak Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 The recover command does not reduce file size. However, the "Save a copy as..." and "Compressed Copy" will reduce file size. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 Usually the Recover do decrease file size, but only by some bytes, which where (probably) allocated to the problematic part. I guess it will be less than 1k. As LiveOak said, the "Save a copy as..." and "Compressed Copy" will reduce file size. Couldn't you split the database by better, related design?
