Neta,

You cant do it using ADO, but you can with DAO.

Sub CompactDB()
Dim vFile, vTemp
Dim oDBE As Object

vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Database,*.mdb")
If vFile = False Then Exit Sub
vTemp = Left$(vFile, Len(vFile) - 3) & ".tmp"

If Len(Dir(vTemp)) Then Kill vTemp
Set oDBE = CreateObject("DAO.DBEngine.36")
oDBE.CompactDatabase vFile, vTemp
If Err = 0 Then
Kill vFile
Name vTemp As vFile
MsgBox "Compacted " & vFile, vbInformation
End If
Set oDBE = Nothing
End Sub
