Hi,

I need some help with the code to compact a database
I am using VB6 and an access 2000 database i was wondering if anybody knew the code to compact it, all i have been able to find is how to compact it when using an access 95 database.

In particularly i am having trouble with this code

	'Close the database and make a backup copy
	gcnFmmc.Close
	FileCopy "Fmmc.mdb", "Fmmc.mdk"
	
	'Repair and compact to a temporary database
	lblMessage.Caption = "Compacting..."
	DBEngine.CompactDatabase "Fmmc.mdb", "Temp.mdb"	'This is the line of code i get an error on
	
	'Erase the temporary database
	Kill "Fmmc.mdb"
	Name "Temp.mdb" As "Fmmc.mdb"

thanks,
rightwest

Did you ever try it???
Sorry but that's not a godf answer pal....

If you want to compact an M Access 2000 or better try this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	'FIRST YOU NEED TO CREATE A REFERENCE TO: Microsoft Jet and Replication Objects 2.6 Library (or better)
	'NEW OBJECT TO COMPACT DB
	Dim jet As New JRO.JetEngine
	Dim sDBSource As String
		'DATABASE NAME SOURCE TARGET TO COMPACT
		sDBSource = "BigDB.mdb"
	Dim sDBTmp As String
		'TEMP NAME OF THE NEW COMPACT DATABASE
		sDBTmp = "DBT_" & Format$(Minute(Now), "00") & Format$(Second(Now), "00") & ".mdb"
		
		'MAIN METOD TO COMPACT THE DATABASE
		jet.CompactDatabase "Data Source=" & App.Path & "\" & sDBSource & ";" & _
							"Jet OLEDB:Database Password=", _
							"Data Source=" & App.Path & "\" & sDBTmp & ";" & _
							"Jet OLEDB:Database Password="
							
	  'DELETE SOURCE DATABASE
	  'Kill App.Path & "\" & sDBSource
	   
	  'RENAME NEW COMPACT DB WITH THE SOURCE DB NAME
	   Name App.Path & "\" & sDBTmp As App.Path & "\NewSmall" & sDBSource
	   
	  'NO LONGER NEED OF THE OBJECT
	   Set jet = Nothing
End Sub

Try with your own DB bevcouse the one in my example its empty but it makes the compact..

Easy right???
