in thread Manipulating MS Access files

So a broad question about Win32::OLE, it's been some time since I perl scripted. Will I be looking for a method in this module that does exactly the compacting or does the OLE module allow me to emulate any windows application behavior?

    Essentially, it's the latter ... well nearly, since any windows application behavior s/b read as most behaviours for most windows applications.

    IIRC, the object model/navigator is all well and good, but the only sure way to tell if the library can emulate the specific application behaviour (especially non-standard behaviour) is by good old experimentation.

    A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
