Does Access bloat file size?

I am launching a web based database. The first stage was the data and
a couple of queries. I have since added more queries and some tables
with structure only.

I have compacted the database.

The first stage was 1.6MB. Two days later it is 6.6MB. Is there any
way that I can measure the size of the individual components?

Thanks,

Robin Chapple
 
No, there's not really any way to determine how much each component
contributes to the size (other than deleting the objects one by one,
compacting between each deletion and noting what difference there is)

However, 6.6 MB is miniscule for an Access database. They can be up to 2 GB.
