Compacting an Access Database

Is there a way to compact an Access database when running a vb.net page from discountasp? I've seen examples that use such code as

Dim db As New DAO.DBEngine
Dim jro As New JRO.JetEngine

but they require COM references (maybe with a wrapper?), and I assume these are not available to me. If they are, I don't know how to add a reference for running under discountasp.net servers.

Thanks for any input,
Ernie

 

Thanks Bruce.

Um, I should have been more general with my question. If I want to compact an Access database on your server, do I have any means available to do this without having to copy to my local computer, compacting there, and re-uploading to your server?

Ok, please disregard this thread now. I have found an alternative approach... I can just copy the records into a new/blank database and this has a similar effect (gets rid of the bloat). Thanks.
