Sergey,

I have a client I gave a test version of an app to - they are using 38

records x 4 RVF fields to create prompts for the rest of the application.

The fields are dynamic style only, and use the rvaction list.

Now they gave me back the database today after telling me that it's really

slow... I notice that some of the RVF fields are >6Mb of binary content with

only a few k of text visible. Total db size is 142Mb when it really should

be about 6 Mb.

I know that they have been copying and pasting text from word as well as

from one field to another.

Question:

in the light of dynamic styles, I assume that my problem stems from styles

not merging but simply duplicating over and over resultsing in a 3 k block

of text being supported by 6Mb of style and para information.

How do I get around this?

I assume I need to constantly deleteunusedstyles? is there any other

technique I need to utilise?

thanks

Alan
