fuck it, my FTP won't work. I'll take that as an excuse to go to bed.

citta, yeah I'm making one for a university project.

Access retains data size.. so if you've had data which was deleted it will still have reserved data space... I've a 700 Mb MDB with 20 rows!

once this stupid project is over I will denounce CF and Access and go learn to use something BETTER. Portfolio will be the guinea pig!
