You should be using a split database, in which case you could compact the backend from the frontend using DBEngine.CompactDatabase (look it up in help). As for the frontend, it shouldn't need compacting all that often, but you could add a 'compact' button to your custom toolbar. Users could hit that once a week or so. -- Joan Wild Microsoft Access MVP
