I want to compact an access MDB database file using JetComp.exe . I want to pass the name of the file ( and the destination file) to Jetcomp.exe . However, JetComp.exe does not seem to respond. I tried the following:
jetcomp.exe -src:{"G:\my database.mdb"} -dst:"G:\my compacted database.mdb"
I can't use the GUI version of Jetcomp.exe as I want to include the line above in a database upgrader.
All the best, Seb
Use the DBEngine.CompactDatabase method instead of JetComp. One less thing to distribute.
I also go a bit further. See Backup, do you trust the users or system administrators?
