Variables in CompactDatabase command

[S. van Beek]

Dear reader,

By using the CompactDatabase command I discovered the following unpleasant
situation:

DBEngin.CompactDatabase "DB_a", "DB_b"

The above sentence works perfect, but if I will use the command with
variables from a table it fails, for instance:

DBEnging.ComandDatabase Rst1!DB_old , Rst1!DB_new

The same negative result is by using this commend with string variables as:

Dim DB_a as String

Dim DB_b as String

Dim Rst1 as DAO.Recordset

Set Rst1 = db.OpenRecordset("Tbl_Databases")

DB_a = Rst1!DB_old (fieldname from the table)

DB_b = Rst1!DB_new

DBEnging.ComandDatabase DB_a , DB_b

This instruction set is also not working.

Tanks for any help to solve this situation

Kind regards,

Simon van Beek
