Hi Steve.

>My entire application has to live as VBScript code that I execute with cscript.exe. So creating a COM object is out of the question at this point. But what I think I will do it make the database a table and PACK it. Do you know how that could be done with just OLEDB commands?

Although I haven't tried it, I can't see how it would work. The problem is that the DBC has to be opened exclusively to pack it, but the OLEDB provider has it open so it can execute the stored procedure that would do the packing.
