Access 2007 and windows 7

[OD]

Under windows xp and vista. I was using a batch file to compact a database,
now under windows 7 it does not work I get an error.

EXAMPLE:

"c:\Consulting Tracking Program\Consulting Tracking.accdb" /compact
Now I get a message box saying that was a problem sending the command to the
program.

Thanks for the help

Hi,
I think you have to add a path to msaccess.exe, like:

"C:\Program files\office 2007\msaccess.exe" "c:\Consulting Tracking
Program\Consulting Tracking.accdb" /compact
