[AccessD] Compacting A2K

>>>>"Cannot find field 'Description'".  Error on Compacting A2K<<<<

The times I have had this error it's been because I didn't have enough free 
disk space. You need at least twice the available free space as the size of 
the oiriginal database. And some of that space si needed on the drive where 
the Windows Temp files go.
