Sorry, I have absolutely no idea what the "file based stuff" is.If possible I'd like to be pointed to a "how to" page explaining more about what that is as and how applies to DNN.

Here is some information about the setup.

We did the standard installation of DNN and it puts the database's data file and transaction log here by default.

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\App_Data\Database.mdf
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\App_Data\Database_Log.ldf

We use SQL Server 2008 Express and for future reference I prefer to only use sqlcmd.

BTW, appears that no one can answer my primary question, which is why did the database grow so large so quickly. Speculation is fine.

Thanks,

Rick
