>>I am making a database and table maintenance class that has buttons for PACK, RECALL ALL, and REINDEX, and whatever else I might need. I thought I would add a button that does "Clean Up Database" and VALIDATE DATABASE. As I recall, the "Clean Up Database" pad from the Database menu does the same as:
>>
>>USE mydatabase.dbc EXCLUSIVE
>>SELECT mydatabase
>>PACK
>>
>>Is that the right code?

>>So what else do I need to put in this thing?

>Be aware that VALIDATE DATABASE is not available outside the VFP environment...

...and the RECOVER option is not available in code, only from the Command Window.
