How to compact and repair a mdb with VBA code

Dear reader,

How can I use a command in the current mdn to compact and repair the mdb.

In which the source file is the current database.

Thanks for any help.

Kind regards,

you cant because it is THE database and it wont let you.

you can however use two alternate approaches.

1.Use a shortcut to open the database with the "/compact" in the
path(easiest method, look it up on the interweb)
2. Get your MDB file to write a BAT file containing the compact command
which you execute from the SHELL command to fire up the BAT file once your
MDB is closed. (tricky stuff)

Hello to all, Assume my mdb name is Cust.MDB. I want to compact & repair the same Cust.MDB when the user exit the program. Is there a way you can do it in code behind the EXIT button. I am dumping data from SQL to temp table and also delete from these tables in Cust.MDB. This would cause the MDB to get big. So I just want some code to compact and repair as user Exit from the access database. thanks a bunch.

Does "Compact On Close" do a "Compact and Repair" or just a compact. Is a compact necessary (or at least a good idea) on a regular basis, say weekly, for a database that has several hundred records per week added to it? TIA.

My school registration database has not been quite right after a recent compact and repair (done while I was away). Though most of the many forms and subforms are working normally, one form in particular will no longer allow new entries into the subform - the recordset of the underlying query is no longer updatable. The subform in question enters the identity and other vital info for children whose parent's ID provides the FK, linking...

I have a db that has a couple of times closed Access completely when Saving work. So I usually compact and decompile and this seems to fix the problem. But not his time. It has come back again. But my query is this. How come I can keep reducing file size? I decompiled, recompiled and compacted the db 3 times and each time the file size reduced. First time from 13.5 MB to 7.5 MB. Second time down a few

Hi All, Using WinXP pro/Access 2000. I have a database that's been used for about 5 months. Transferred lots of data from a dos based program, then the users have been using it for that 5 months. About 180000 records in one of the main files (maybe 25000 new since the dos conversion). Been having some speed issues crop up along the way (much faster to do same reports when I first transferred the data than now, with the new 25000...

New discovery. If I take a perfectly good database, and "compact/repair" on it with Access 2000 (seems to be at multiple sites--I've tried it with my system here, at another office on an entirely different network), it damages the file somehow. The user's machine that did the compact/repair can see the file fine. But any networked user can't get in. I can double click on a good database file from any user (over the network) and it...

My client has asked if it's possible to Compact and Repair his Front End database programmatically. I remember doing this from a VB application about 10 years ago, so I wondered if it was possible in Access. The application is Access 2003 in 2002-2003 File Format. I've added the following function to the Front End in a global module: Public Function CandRDB()
