Hello,

As part of VBA, I would like to determine size of database after running some lines of code and put results om Msgbox. Any ideas?

I did find this UDF on the Web. Dont know if it works or how to incorporate.

Function GetFileSize() As Long
GetFileSize = FileLen(CurrentDb.Name)
End Function

Thanks in advance

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
You can call that function in your MsgBox with

VBA Code:
MsgBox GetFileSize

This will also let you determine if that function does what you want it to do (I don't know if it does).
