Are you doing regular transaction log backups? If not, set the database in simple recovery model and keep it there.

I've got an Access application with a SQL Server back end.
SQL Server db is about 4 gig. Transaction log is about 10 gig. It just
seems to keep growing. I' GUESSING Access never causes transactions to be
committed, so the log file never drops those transactions.
I tried something which SEEMS to work, but before I do this to production
files - I'd like a little expert advice.
-- I backed up the database
-- I changed the recovery model to SIMPLE,
-- I shurunk the log file to the minimum allowed (which was very small)
-- I changed the recovery model back to FULL.
If I do this after hours when everyone is gone, logging should begin before
users every get back into the office. Does this seem like a plan??

Thanx in advance!
