[AccessD] Compact by code

Does anyone have code to compact an external database?  I am working on a
transformation / migration system.  Append operations go to an external
database using the IN 'SomeDatabase' clause in SQL.  The results are a huge
database bloat, not sure if it has anything to do with the IN clause or not,
but huge none the less.

So I need to do a compact on that backup database from code.

I see two methods in help - using DAO DBEngine, the other uses the JetEngine
object.  

I'm just looking for any pointers from anyone who does this already.
