Defrag no longer defrags large file

[Judy H.]

Defrag no longer defrags a data base file I use which has
grown from 4GB to 6.5GB. When I first started using XP,
and the database file was 4GB this was not a problem. I
am wondering if there is a maximum file size constraint
in Defrag. I cannot find anything on the MS Knowledge
Base that addresses defrag and any limitations. Does
anyone have any information on this? Thanks.

defrag may no longer have the free space necessary to defrag this big
file.
