Well, the DAO 3.51 method of doing this, "DBEngine.RepairDatabase ("Filename")", doesnt work for an access 2k database...

My references to DAO 3.6 are set for the project and I am able to access the database from within my program. I can compact without problems.... I have read some that when compacting a 2k database, the database also checks to see if it needs to be repaired.. is this true.... I may be making mountians out of mole hills on this.....


thanks in advance...

It is my understanding as well that when a Access database is compacted it is also, if necessary, repaired.
