After installing SP3 for Office 2003, Compact and Repair in Access does not
delete the copy of the database after completion of compaction. Is this
working as intended? How can I set it to behave as before?

Thanks,

Do you have 'Compact on close' set?
There was a report in the Access group that this was a bug that affected
only some installations

No, the user is doing it manually. I read through the postings on the
Access board and it is describing exactly what my user is reporting. She's
gone for the day, but I left a message for her to try the workarounds
suggested (local drive, not launching directly from Explorer). We'll see.

Any further help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom

How did you get on with this we find it only fails on the network drive.
