Answer 1

The easiest way is going to be by using the standalone program “JetComp.exe” and just calling that from your c# code

Another option would be to open a DAO connection to the database and use the .CompactDatabase method. Not being ac# bod I cant really offer a code sample but it is quite easy to do in VBA, for that reason I would just use the first option

Answer 2

I would use Jet Replication Objects (JRO). For example code, see here .

Answer 3

Not a C# programmer...but could you Shell to something like:

c:\\myFolder\\myAccessDatabase.mdb /compact

This as you can see uses the command line switch /compact .
