As a total beginner in Access programming, I would need to compress a MDB file.
First I thought that using the SHELL function and calling RAR.EXE would be a good solution.
Well, it worked in Win98 with 32 MB RAM, but it caused the failure of the RAR.EXE (stopped responding to system) in Win 3.11 with 8 MB RAM.
I hope the reason was that I moved a lot of data through SQL in the same Sub and the system was bottlenecked or something like that.
That's why I'm looking for some more sophisticated solution like calling a DLL compression library. Something that allows me to compress the file "with security" in a very exhausted Win 3.11 system.
Anybody has ever faced similar problems?
Thank you. Tom.
