Hi Linda,

I do compact somewhat regularly.  But we are talking about two different
things.  

The fragmentation that is fixed with compacting is _within_ the pst
file.  It results primarily from holes left by deleting or archiving
items.  Compacting in this case just removes the empty spaces in the
file.

The fragmentation that is fixed by speedisk is the file being fragmented
into pieces scattered on the drive.

So... Both compacting and defragging help but in different ways.
