Next: Query works but report fails
From: chippy on 29 Apr 2010 09:28 I've inherited a old small office (access 97) database recently that keeps exceeding the max file size. The problem is the database stores compressed word documents in an OLE Object field (very bad design I know). I am going to move us to an SQL system in about 6 months but I need to keep this system running. I need to report on the individual size of each OLE Object, so I can trace which docs are causing the space problems. Can anyone advise how I could build a report that displayed the size in bytes/ megabytes etc of each OLE Object. I could then sort the report and look at the larger items and trace the users causing the blow outs. The Table that hold the docs is quite simple - it has the following fields ID (Autonumber) DOCUMENT ID (number) DOCUMENT NAME (text) DOC (OLE Object) TIMEDATESTAMP (Date/Time) Any help is most appreciated. |
