I don't think the file size will shrink much, if at all. QB 2006 introduced
a new file organization that operates diffently than previous versions and
shrinking is not really a priority.
Why do you want the size smaller? With faster and larger disk drives,
today's gigabyte file is equivalent to yesterday's ten megabyte file in all
respects except amount that can be stored.
