I just spoke with the client to confirm that auto archiving is not turned on
and he informed me that when he exported the calendar this past Friday, it is
now back to the 59 Meg file size.

To our knowledge autoarchiving is not turned on and he goes through the same
steps each week. He's fairly technical, so I don't believe he's done
anything differently for the past month.

Could AutoArchiving have removed older items and background compaction
packed that empty space out?

A client regularly exports his calendar every week. After 4 weeks, he
noticed his file size went from 55 Meg down to 29 Meg without deleting any
appointments or attachments. It appears all the data is there, but we
would
like to know why the file size became smaller? How does Windows XP or
Outlook 2003 calculate the file size? Could there be something wrong with
the way his system is calculating the file size?
