Issue that this hotfix package fixes
This hotfix fixes the following issue that is not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
In Office Access 2007, when you try to compact an .accdb database, you may receive the following error message:
Microsoft Office Access can't delete database name.accdb after compacting it. The compacted database has been named Database.mdb.
If you compact a database using the same name, Microsoft Access creates a new compacted database and then deletes the original database. In this case, however, the original database wasn't deleted because it is read-only.
If you can, remove the read-only status, delete the original database, and then rename the new database using the original name.
If you can't remove the read-only status, inform your workgroup administrator.
Additionally, after you click
OK, you receive the following error message:
Could not find file 'database name.accdb'
Then, the original .accdb database and the temp-compacted Databasex.mdb database are removed unexpectedly.
