Hello,

W> Here is a quick test from an application that creates a database, a

where are you looking at the file size? Windows Explorer is known in
that it doesn't update the file size until the file is closed. The
File Properties dialog is usually more up to date. In any case, don't
rely on the reported file size to judge whether the data has been
written to disk or not.

Ciao
