All,

Just a question. I have a frond-end of about 8mb (After compacting) but really would like to have it smaller.

The frond-end has this in it:
1 small table
10 links to backend tables
7 modules with about 5000 lines of code
47 Forms with 'some' code
1 Macro
3 reports
No queries (except for the ones embedded in the forms)

One of the forms loads & Cycles images in an empty imagebox
Images aren't in the DB itself.

Now i am wondering about the relative size everything tends to take. If i would want to get it smaller, where to start ?
Reducing the number of forms for instance by using openargs to get different views/data on the same basic form ?

Any idea's

Why not do it anyway! Will make maintainence so much easier!
 
Not really wanting to do this,
Design and layout of a lot of the forms is reasonably different, on purpose.

Where possible, different forms are combined already and for all the others, i want to avoid redesigning the forms.
(Depending on the anwsers i get on my question obviously)
