How to compact and repair Access 2007-2010 via Vb.net code?

Question

_{Saturday, July 7, 2012 9:42 AM}

I have tried to follow many websites but it worked only with Access 2003.

Some sites suggest to change "Engine Type=5"; so that it supports later version of Access.

Here is the code below that I got from other website. It doesn't work with Access 2007 or 2010 although I have changed "Engine type From 4 to 5".

Dim jro As JRO.JetEngine
jro = New JRO.JetEngine
jro.CompactDatabase("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=computer.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=test", _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=computer1.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=test")

Thank Family Tree Mike!!

It works now.

It's just few line only.

  Dim obj As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao.DBEngine()
  obj.CompactDatabase("1.accdb", "2.accdb")
