- Hi, I need help from dBASE IV users.
-
- Does any one know how to trim down a dBASE IV database file (*.dbf) ?
-
- I notice that the size of "*.dbf" file still remains the same even though
- a lot of records have been deleted from that "dbf" file.
-
- Is there any way to release the memory space after deleting records from the
- "DBF" files (REINDEXING does not release the memory space either) ??
-
-
- Thank you.
