Question about compacting and linked tables

[Chris Ennis]

I have a database that has several linked tables. Do these linked tables
get compacted when I compact my database or do I need to compact them in
their originating database?

Thanks in advance for any resdponses,
-Chris

Compaction only works on the object that are physically stored within that
database, linked tables will need to be compacted by compacting the database
where they live.
