Table Data Usage of a Field

Question

Is there a way to determine how much overall data is used in a field in a table. I have some formula RTF fields that may be consuming a great deal of memory in one of my tables. I am considering moving those fields to their own table and replacing them with a summary field. Or would the Summary Field take the use the same amount of data?

Only data entry fields count toward Table Size Limits. Summary fields, Formulas fields and lookup fields don't count against table space or application space limits.

Am I understanding you correctly, formula fields, including Formula - Rich Text fields don't count toward table size limits?------------------------------Paul Peterson------------------------------

Also, returning to the original question, is there a way to determine how much data a field or collection of fields is using.&nbsp; We have talked before about one of the tables I inherited in some of my apps that has an insane number of fields.&nbsp; I need to normalize that table and want to start with the biggest return on the time invested.------------------------------Paul Peterson------------------------------
