I inherited this Access application, in which some fields in several
tables are supposed to contain hyperlinks pointing to PDF documents
sitting elsewhere in the network. The original designer appears to
have embedded some of these PDF documents in the database itself, with
the consequent bloat. While persuing through one of the tables, I
found an odd looking character in one of the hyperlink fields, deleted
it, and saw a 5 MB reduction in the size of the database file.

Is there any way to reveal any and all objects that have been hidden
in a Microsoft mdb file?

Thanks
