MSP 2002 - File sizes

[Donna-Marie]

I have a consolidated plan with two subprojects inserted
into a master project, all attached to a resource pool.
What is concerning me, is I have a total file size of
40mb. My plan is approx 3500 - 4000 lines, and I have
approx 60 resources in my pool. The resource pool alone
is a 15mb file.
I have tried saving these as mdb files, compacting them
and then importing back into an .mpp file, but it made
very little difference.
I think the file size is too big for the information I
have, and I am concerned that it may "spit the dummy" at
some point soon. Does anyone have ideas on what I might
be able to do to verify/reduce these sizes. Thanks!
