File Size Expansion Problem

[Fuad]

Hey guys,

There's one issue we've faced with while working with the pretty big
projects in MSP that I'd like to share and get some advise from our experts:
when increasing the number of activities in the project file and manipulating
with them its size is scaled up getting bigger - for examlpe exceeds 100MB
for 300 tasks - but later when I reduce the number of tasks by deleting it
won't decrease the size appropriately - seems like the file was bubbled...Is
there any tool inside or outside MSP enabling me to release this file
pressure...kind of defragmenter or compressor???

Thanks.

Fuad,
First, I'm not an expert. I'm just another user who's been there and
done a lot of that. It sounds like the file might have some corruption
or is very heavy into graphic content. Go to the MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 43 - file bloat? might be corruption

If your file has inserted graphics or a really complex Gantt
presentation, consider deleting excessive graphic content.

Hope this helps.
