Hello,
Is it possible to have Access automatically compact and repair a database.

RE: Access 2000

Hi Nick

Thank you for your question

It is possible to write a VBA procedure that will compact and repair the database. This uses the CompactRepair method of the application object.

Its use is fairly complex and a detailed description is beyond the scope of the forum. While it is not specifically covered on the VBA Access course, you will acquire the skills required to interpret and apply it.

For the moment further information can be gained by typing CompactRepair into the VBE help box

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Related tables

When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.

Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.

Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
