    Hi Brenden,

    I don’t know when it started but my primary database document started swelling and slowing down, more beachballing. I exported all my records, not samples, to csv and started a new document, imported all forms back in, and it is way way smaller?? Am i crazy?? Or maybe a bunch of near sync data was saved?? Or i don’t know what??
    Nfsr and hot were 2 original docs, need for speed and hot products are the same forms and records alot smaller… Screenshot attached

    You can try the Compact Database function on the Preference window under Maintenance to see if that helps improve the size and performance.

    Also if you have really big images, you might consider setting the Photo Size smaller on your Photo fields so Tap Forms will scale them. That’ll make it go faster too and take up less space.
