Thanks for the clarification....

What I am trying to figure out is where all the space is being used....

I have about 2900 MBR's, 500,000 records in Calls and when I look at the
size of the database it shows that I am using about 497 megs.... My
EmeraldLog is using about 2 megs.... and it is a seperate device.
