Hello again,
Thanks to Scott for helping out with my last query.
I've had a good look round but I can't find anything that carries out what I'm trying to do.
I've got a function that imports a set of text files into already-defined tables. Every time I run it, the database swells considerably, so it would be good to be able to automatically run the compact/repair feature at the end of this script.
I've tried the compact-repair function below, but it doesn't allow me to do it on the currently-open database.
http://www.thescripts. com/forum/thread205241.ht ml
Any ideas on how to automate this?
Thanks in advance.
3  5602 
After these files are imported, are you the only user in the database, or are there other users logged in?
Brad.
Try this link:

I just slipped the code into my test db to try it out, and it seems to work as far as compacting the db goes, but opened the VBA editor window up to the function module after executing.
Not quite a perfect solution, as you'll need to play around with it in order to get it working seamlessly, but it seems to be able to do what you want... as long as you are the only user signed into the database at the time... I think compact repair only works as long as your are the exclusive user, since if you tried to compact repair while other users were signed in, it could wreak havoc with data being sent to the db, etc...
Regards,
Scott
Thanks again, Scott. I'll try it out later and see if I can get it to work.

Whenever I run the Repair/Compact on my database, the security settings on
the file change.
A 3rd party application can only access the database over the network when
the username "Everyone" is added to the "Group or user names" with access to
the file. But each time the Repair/Compact utility is run, it removes
"Everyone" from the list.
This is under Win2000. Can anyone offer some advise or suggestions?
Thanks

My school registration database has not been quite right after a recent

underlying query is no longer updatable.
The subform in question enters the identity and other vital info for

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...

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...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
