ADT2: ADT Repair/Compact Documentation Error

 Last reviewed: April 7, 1997
Article ID: Q119753
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.

The Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit "Advanced Topics" manual page 17 reads as follows: 

   Also be aware that if your application is secured, the user running the
   repair or compact operation must have Open Exclusive permission for the
   database.
This information is incorrect.

RESOLUTION

The user running the repair operation does not need to have Open Exclusive permission for the database. Any user validated by the database's SYSTEM.MDA file can run the repair operation, even if that user has no explicit or implicit permissions for the database. However, in order to compact the database, the user must have Open/Run as well as Open Exclusive permissions for the database.
