In fact, I'd like to compact the original db, have it named the same
and make a copy for back-up. Any ideas?
You could have a dummy DB that did the renaming for you. If I
remember correctly, the keyword in VB is Name, not rename.... Then
you could do something like use MichKa's SOON, and have it run in the
autoexec of the dummy DB.
