I've searched, and couldn't come up with a solution for this. Let me know if you can find a thread..

I've linked a dbase XL file into Access. When a user deletes the record in Access, it is of course deleted in the dbase XL file...Only (Just as in Access) the record is only marked for deletion... How do I compact the dbase file? (Or, as dbase users call it...How do I "pack" the file from Access?)

Thanks,

Andrew
