I've never developed and shipped a VB app with an Access .mdb for users that do not have Access installed (although it does work fine). Does anyone know if there will be compacting issues after repeated use of the database? I'm a bit concerned since I can't shell out the compact if the user PC doesn't own an Access installation...
Thanks!

If you reference DAO, you can write your own compacting utility in VB6:
Code:
DBEngine.CompactDatabase mstrDBPath, strDBFolder & "\Temp.mdb"
