Hi,
Can someone tell me what the MDW file actually does?
I have a FE/BE app and my own MDW file and I notice that at some of my
clients it rapidly grows to 10-15MB. I can compact it to 150KB but it just
grows again. There would be about 10-15 people using my app concurrently.

Thanks
Brian
 
I wouldn't worry about it. The mdw is just another mdb - it will bloat like
any other mdb.
 
Ms Wild,
The app does startup faster after it's compacted. The mdb does not bloat
anywhere as much. What goes into the mdw other than the username and
password? Anything that I might be doing in my app that makes it bloat?
Regards
Brian

I don't believe so. I found that it would bloat to a certain size, and then
stay at that size.

Just compact it periodically.
 
Presumeably you are not creating or deleting users or groups through
code (createuser etc.) ?
