This is because both the compiled and decompiled versions of the code are
stored on the hard drive.
Hard drive space shouldn??™t often become a problem, but if you have an application with an enormous
amount of code, you can save hard drive space by keeping it in a decompiled state. Remember
that a trade-off is made between hard drive space used and the performance of your database. Most
often, when given the choice, a user would rather give up a few megabytes of hard drive space in
exchange for faster applications.
You can use this space-saving technique to your advantage if you need to distribute a
large application and your recipients have a full development version of Access. By distributing
the uncompiled versions, you need much less hard drive space to distribute the application,
and the end users can compile it again at their location. If you are going to do this, you should put
the entire application into a decompiled state. The topic of fully decompiling an application is discussed
later in this chapter.
