The back end is on a server. Compact on close is set on, but on the clients
server isn't happening, though no errors are being generated. On my machine
here Compact On Close happens fine.
Is this an NT permissions thing?

The BE is not "opened/closed" by an FE using linked tables from it.v How are
you opening the back end db?

Thanks, I didn't know that.

FE links to BE tables.
There's a temp table being written I think. Needs to be in the FE?

Temp tables can exist in the FE, or as David Fenton propounds with good
reason, in a separate local mdb created and destroyed for each session. Or
only in memory.
In a multi-user situation, having two people using what they think is "my"
table in a BE could be disastrous.

See the TempTables.MDB page at my website which illustrates how to use a temporary
MDB in your app. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/temptables.htm

When the user exits the FE attempt to rename the backend MDB preferably with todays
date in the name in yyyy-mm-dd format. Ensure you close all bound forms, including
hidden forms, and reports before doing this. If you get an error message, oops, its
busy so don't bother. If it is successful then compact it back.

Thanks for the tips Tony.
You're right, I should be doing my temp tables somewhere else.
