Is it a good idea to use the option to compact a database on close if there
is a possibility there is corruption in a database. Last year the client had
a split database ascs.mdb and ascs_be.mdb and they had them both on a z:
drive and opened it from a shortcut. Everytime she ran a report she had to
compact the database first or she would get a runtime error I guess it was
looking for the backend. But it worked by compacting it. So there is a
chance there is corruption however I split the two up and I didn't get the
runtime error again. So what I want to know is safe to use the compact on
close option?
