Re: File was compressed to < 50% original size - why?

Hi Denise,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

Well, you have a common problem the other way round!! :) If you save a file
just after it opens, before changing anything, Project does some
housekeeping and ends up with a smaller file. You might like to see the
suggestions in FAQ Item: 43. File Bloat? - Might be Corruption.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address:http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-)

My project has been around 15.5 Meg for months (grew gradually), now
when I save it it reduces the saved project to 7 meg for no apparent
reason. No change to options. The file is compressed when I save an
old version with no changes. I would appreciate any suggestions or
similar experiences that I could learn from. Thanks very much.
