Re: NT Command Script and Documented Steps to Decompile / Compact / Compile an Access

Hey Michael,

This script has saved us many headaches!

Having said that, I don't think it's running the full process. The reason I say that is because when I run it, %DBfilesizepre% and %DBfilesizepost% do not echo values in the command prompt window, so I think it might just be running it once and that's all...? I could be wrong especially since my command script knowledge is limited.

So I was wondering if you could help me understand a few parts of the code so I could debug if there is indeed an issue.

The code I'm having trouble understanding is:

FOR /F "usebackq" %%A IN ('%DBfile%') DO SET DBfilesizepre=%%~zA
FOR /F "usebackq" %%A IN ('%DBfile%') DO SET DBfilesizepost=%%~zA

Thanks for all of your help!

Joe
