<p>We have implemented a new file format for MD2010 one of the big
changes is the way dates are encoded in the file. I can verify that
MD2010 produces quite significantly different file sizes when
compared to M2008.</p>
<p>Another reason why a file size might change is if you recently
performed a File->Archive operation and you unchecked the option
to keep old transactions.</p>
<p>Unless you actually notice a difference in account balances I
don't think there is anything that warrants concern.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>

<p>I'm using 2010 on both now.</p>
<p>What actually happens, after a bit more checking, is if I use a
730Kb database from the Linux PC on the Windows one, after opening
and closing the file it shrinks to 450KB.<br>
However, as you suggest, nothing untoward appears to have happened
to the balances so I'll forget about it.</p>
