Bear in mind, though, that if you have a split DB, this will not compact the data, but only the client, which is a bit pointless.

I remember a discussion some time in the not too distant past about how to compact and repair an Access (XP 03) DB upon exit. I thought I saved it but can't find it anywhere in my notes. If anyone has that or can post the answer (again) please? Thanks. /g ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
