The Event Log records the results of the overnight defragmentation (which is part of the built in overnight maintenance) and this includes a figure for how much free space is in the store. Presumably this is how much eseutil /d would shrink the file(s) on disk by. I have found that even though the .edb may not shrink by much, the .stm file usually shrinks quite dramatically. ---< Mark Dewell, University of East London, Dagenham, Essex, UK >--- ---< Email : M.Dewell@xxxxxxxxx >--- ---< URL : http://homepages.uel.ac.uk/1278 >--- < Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty (Anne Herbert) >
