Excel VBA to Compact and Repair

[psulions83]

I have seen a lot of threads on compacting and repairing a dB from excel. I have not been able to get anything to work properly.

I have the below code....Is there a way to get the compact and repair to work after I delete the data in my tables?


Sub accessMacro()


Dim appAccess As Access.Application


Set appAccess = New Access.Application


appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "FILE LOCATION" 'Location of the Access dB

appAccess.Visible = False

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

appAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro "Mcro_DelTbls" 'Macro to delete the tables in Access dB

appAccess.DoCmd.SetOption "Auto Compact", True 'Compact and Repair after deleting data from tables

appAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro "Mcro_V2" 'Macro to run th

ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll

appAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase

ActiveWorkbook.Activate


MsgBox "DONE", vbCritical


End Sub

Does anyone have any idea on the below? My code is updated to the below but it is not erroring out but it is not compacting the dB.

Sub delete()

   Dim appAccess As Access.Application


   Set appAccess = New Access.Application
   
   appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase ThisWorkbook.Path & "\AccessdB"


   appAccess.Visible = True


   Application.DisplayAlerts = False


   appAccess.DoCmd.RunMacro "Mcro_Del"    
   
   appAccess.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Tools").Controls("Database Utilities").Controls("Compact and Repair Database").accDoDefaultAction
 
   appAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase
   
   'MsgBox "Delete Finished", vbCritical
   
End Sub
