Question : Access MDB file mysteriously huge

I inherited a very flaky Access database w/ a front end that's over 60 MB in size even when compacted.  I've built a lot of Access databases.  Based on the object count, a more realistic size is 3 to 5 MB.  Is there a way to query the MDB file to find where the size is coming from?  Maybe some embedded images?

I'm afraid currently this can't be done. As HFS file-systems are apple stuff and copyrighted by them, and since they don't publish it's workings to the others, there won't be a solution to this until apple changes it's position, or someone reverse engineers things.
