compact DB access 2000

I found this in some old code, but don't think I ever tried it and have no idea where it came from, but you might give it shot.

/// <summary>
/// !!IMPORTANT!!
/// !make sure there's no open connections to your db before calling this method!
/// !!IMPORTANT!!
/// </summary>
/// <param name="connectionString">connection string to your db</param>
/// <param name="mdwfilename">FULL name of an MDB file you want to compress.</param>

public static void CompactAccessDB(string connectionString, string mdwfilename)
{
    object[] oParams;

    //create an inctance of a Jet Replication Object
    object objJRO = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("JRO.JetEngine"));

    //filling Parameters array
    //change "Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5" to an appropriate value
    // or leave it as is if you db is JET4X format (access 2000,2002)
    //(yes, jetengine5 is for JET4X, no misprint here)

    oParams = new object[] { connectionString, "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data" + 
                            " Source=C:\\tempdb.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5"};

    //invoke a CompactDatabase method of a JRO object
    //pass Parameters array
    objJRO.GetType().InvokeMember("CompactDatabase",
        System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
        null,
        objJRO,
        oParams);

    //database is compacted now
    //to a new file C:\\tempdb.mdb

    //let's copy it over an old one and delete it
    System.IO.File.Delete(mdwfilename);
    System.IO.File.Move("C:\\tempdb.mdb", mdwfilename);

    //clean up (just in case)
    System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(objJRO);
    objJRO = null;
}

Maybe that'll give you some ideas of what to google anyway.
