Hi Steve,

Uses API function SQLConfigDataSource from ODBC:

DECLARE Integer SQLConfigDataSource in odbccp32.dll Integer, Integer,String, String
LOCAL lcNew,lcFile
lcNew="c:\temp\compact.mdb"
lcFile="c:\temp\Data.mdb"

IF SQLConfigDataSource(0,1,"Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)","COMPACT_DB= "+lcNew+" "+lcFile)=0
   * compact MDB failed
ELSE
ENDIF
