Yes, I have a lot of custom stuff in my ST_Data file, but that's not
what makes it grow to the point of overwhelming MS. It's the number
of systems tests you run and how many results it stores. The more
systems tests you do, the faster it grows. Certain settings in MS
seem to really blow it up. Mine used to be only 5 or 6 megs. The good
old days, I guess.
When you delete your results, it wipes them off the hard drive but
not out of the ST_Data file. I would be careful with using
compression outside of MS. It could cause errors one of these days.
Another reason to back it up. Maybe you could edit it with access?
Sounds dangerous, but!
