Compacting an access database

[HOW1]

Hi,

I have designed a database which has been split into a front end and back
end database. I have set-up both the front end and back end to compact on
closure. However the open and closure of the back end is driven by the front
end of the database therefore I am unsure if the compact on closure is
actually taking place. Can someone please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
