Can anyone suggest how I might be able to "pack" a linked DBIII file from
within access. I am using access to build the data needed for a label
printer (it can only read DBIII) and currently have to open the printer
utility to pack the database to remove the deleted records. I would like to
eliminate this step by including something that can be called from access
that will look after this. Any suggestions or direction would be
apprecitated!
