MS Access Compact and Repair function: Is there a way to automate that process through a task scheduler and do you need to have a license of Access
I have a client that has a tool that creates an MDB file nightly. Over time this file grows large due to the update tables that populate. Most recently it grew to 2+ gigs as it went unchecked. With Compact and repair the database shrunk down to 300 mb. So we realized that the customer just does not follow up with procedures and thought we would attempt a batch file process we could schedule with task scheduler or maybe force them to buy MS Access 2007. They do not have it of course.
Can this kind of procedure be created in a batch file without Access like maybe VB code or something or would this process require Access.......or will both be needed a batch file and MS Access to complete this task.

I could not get mlmcc to reward points for this so I gave everyone a little of everything. We both worked on this and he was the lead person. We knew it would offer some value and my apologies for the delay
