Hi,
Does anybody know how to compact an Access databse through the BDE?
I have an .MDB which handles loads of transient data and quickly grows to
the 1GB limit.
I need a way to "pack" the database without running Access and selecting
Tools/Database Utilities/Compact Database.
If it is not possible does anyone know whether it is possible to Spawn
Access with some script to automatically run the Tools/Database
Utilities/Compact Database command?

Many thanks
