When I purge, the file actually gets bigger and pervasive split it again. haha can't win.
So the rebuild index doesn't work on the split file.
I am doing it again, but will examine the data and delete voided records manually.
See you in November
If anyone has any other suggestions I am always open.
---------------------------------
OK. I am using a 2-day old file pair that haven't been split.
I am first reindexing, which appears to be working. This should hopefully reduce the size of the file.
Then I will purge and re index again.
If this doesn't work... Lynn just called me from IS Tech Support. What a pleasant surprise! And gave another suggestion that I will try.
------------------------------------
This didn't work either. Re indexing also made the file larger. After it counted down on the records it went negative .
