I'm thinking that you'll need to follow the suggestion to force the users out of the database, just closing it down around their ears if they don't get out. Unfortunately people go home and leave things open. No way out but to force a close. Once everyone is out, just do the compact. John W.

John this has to be a no brainer (as far as the employees are concerned), as I already had a repair and compact option available when they closed the frontend, but nobody bothered to close the front end or use the option (tried a warning also). William I have looked at Dev's site, I will have to figure out how to incorporate the repair and compact of the backend in the same routine. I assume the Jet Repair/Compact utility is available from Microsoft. Thanks again _______________________________________________ AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
