Remove embedded images?

[jonchaz]

I have a database that due to my naivete has grown in mammoth proportions. I have been testing backgrounds using embedded images, I have now come to the conclusion that the standard backcolors will be fine, however, when I removed the images from the forms, it didn't seem to remove them from the mdb. Does anyone know how to "un-embed" an embedded image?

I will be eternally greatful!

Have you tried to compact the database? With Access, nothing *really* gets deleted until you compact... Terry

Thank you very much, it worked awesome, took a 172,000,000 mdb to 35,000,000, it was probably very obvious, but I never really looked into it.

Thanks again,

John
