Hi All~
I have a user who does not know access at all ( :oops: ). She created a table by entering data into the table. She added 100+ records into the table, but did nto adjust any of the field names. Since she didn't change the "design" of the table, when she closed it and it asked her to save changes to the design, she said no. Now there are no tables, but the size of the database is now over 500kb. She would like to know why the size increased if her data is gone. Any help?

THANKS!

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
What do you mean the data is gone?

Access will ask you to save design changes not only if you change field names but if you do a filter/sort, change a field size etc.

Have you tried compacting the database?
