Compacting and Repairing

Every once in a while it may be necessary to run the Compact and Repair feature of the program. As the databases are used they will grow in size and may essentially get cluttered with lots of temporary information. When this Compact and Repair is run, it will go through and optimize the file for speed and size. It is recommended to do this to the data file at least once a month for optimal performance.
