To compact the Messages database

  1. Close the Messages database.

    In a multiuser environment, make sure that all other users have also closed the database. You can check to see who is connected to your computer by using the Server option in Control Panel.

  2. In the Microsoft Windows NT Messages program group, double-click the Compact Database icon.

This book is dedicated to the Windows NT developers who gave so generously of their time, despite imminent beta and final deadlines, to work with us, and our own imminent deadlines, to improve the clarity and usefulness of the messages for both technical support people and individual users. And all this before the product shipped!
