Import as substitute for Compact/Repair

I have a large db in production for a couple years. I recently converted it
to A2007, and the app keeps getting "out of memory" errors. I'd guess there
is corruption. No other evidence of it so far. I do get errors from time to
time due to an issue with Citrix and Remote Desktop (clipboard sync
problems...), but I'm getting far more errors now than before...so,

I thought I'd create a new A2007 db and import the entire backend (and
ultimately the frontend to another new A2007 db.) I'm stumped though by the
need to recreate all the relationships. Any shortcut or programmatic way to
do that?

Afraid I don't have Access 2007 installed on this machine, but one of the
options in previous versions of Access was the ability to import
relationships when you imported the tables.

Are you sure that the back-end is the culprit of the "out of memory" errors,
though? I would have expected the front-end to be generating them, since the
back-end doesn't do anything!

I haven't done an import from 2007, yet and I don't have a copy I can test
with here at work, but I know that in 2003, when you get the import dialog
up and select tables, there is an options button that allows you to select
various things to include with the import, Relationships being one of those.

Also, it may be necessary to open the relations window and click on Show All
Relations to get them to show up in the new database.
