BO .rep file size keeps increasing?

[dev444]

Hi
i need some help , there may be an easy solution to this however i cant think of one, am using BO 6(enterprise) ,
basically when i create a report, every time an addition/change is made to the report the size of the file increases(without running), however when i remove things (even the whole lotthe size stays exactly how large it was, (even if its purged) , please help
cheers

Are you using the query on query feature? This is where you use the results of 1 dataprovide in the conditions of another.

I've seen this feature cause this. We've had 1000 row report grow to 70 mb. Without this feature 6.5 is fine. The feature corrupts the report file causing it to grow ridiculously.

Thanks for that,
although the report increases in size basically when any changes are made to the report, for example if a cell with a graphic is added and the report saved it will increase in size(obviously) ,but then if i remove the graphic and save the report it stays the same. I dont think its to do with the actual query as its more to do with the saving properties (i beleive) as this happens without even re running the query.
