This only works when you don't have much data in the database, after about 10-20 seasons this will not improve the running of the program. After this time is when it is a database engine problem. I still think it would be nice to have the program written in C with a small footprint database engine like codebase. I did a test and took the data from the MDB file and put the data into COBOL dat files and the savings was - get this - The MDB file was 36MB, the dat file was 3.4MB. Of course the dat files are optimized for size and ACCESS does not allow this.
Ideas anyone?
