I'm Using Crystal Reports 8 With VB6. My report wash fine before I added a jpeg file that was 386kb for the background. When I saved my VB6 project, crystal reports saved three files. Two of the files where 85 megs. I deleted the picture but the file sizes remain 85 megs. I can't seem to find a way to fix this. My project now takes a several minutes to save, load and run. Please help.

Thanks Mark (nightsurfer)
 
Did you, somehow, on accident click the Save Report with Data option.

I know this will dramatically increase the size of your report. I dont think it'd do it that badly, but it's worth a shot.

Also, have you tried saving the report under a different name or opening the file into Seagate, deleting the one on your hard drive and saving the one in Seagate down again.

Cant imagine why that image would be so reluctant to be rid of.
 
Hi Putts,]

Thanks for your help. I eventually came across that solution. You were right.
