Question : Compacting and Repairing Back-end

How would I go about compacting and repairing my back-end periodically? Once the database development is done I won't really have an admin here to do this regularily

The issue being when to trigger the compact and repair. I know you can call it on the back-end but it would have to be when no users are logged in right?

bejhan,

If you've got the $$ you can use this:

Or, ...you can create a Windows scheduled task to start Access with the "Compact" switch:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msaccess.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\samples\northwind.mdb" /compact
