WAIT!!!! What kind of database MUST be repaired regularly???? :w00t:MS Access ones.
That actually is correct advice, for an MS Access database (as in Access tables) used by multiple people. They generally need a 'compact and repair' on a very regular basis. Only MS Access though
At least up to and including Access 2000, this was the standard practice. The risk was that the database would grow passed the 2Gb limit resulting in an unusable heap of ......
Historical note: The operation created a new database, copied the data from the original one, purged it and renamed the new one.
Somehow it looks like the old MS Access is still the impression some have of any Microsoft Database products.
