    Everyone recommending a "shrink" on this thread is forgetting a very, very important thing to do after the shrink... you MUST rebuild your indexes after the shrink. Shrinking an MDF real frags up a DB. Yes, rebuilding the indexes will make the MDF grow back a little but the amount of headroom it takes is usually about perfect to allow some near term growth.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
