Is there a way to run a compact in a command line function? I'm using O2k2. I've got about 8 outlook data files showing in my folder list, and its a real pain to open each one, and compact. As I run a back-up each night unattended, it would be great if I could compact each pst file as part of the back-up process. Anyone got any ideas?
