DOC: CompactDatabase IntelliSense Different than Documentation

MORE INFORMATION

The correct IntelliSense parameters that actually show up are:

   CompactDatabase (SrcName, DstName, [dstLocale], [Options], [SrcLocale])
				

There is no mention here that there is a parameter for a password. Visual Basic Help and Visual Basic Books Online specify that the CompactDatabase method is as follows:

   CompactDatabase (olddb, newdb, locale, options, password)
				

The documentation talks about the password as a parameter, but it does not talk about the SrcLocale, which is a parameter in the IntelliSense display.

The actual functionality when using CompactDatabase Method accepts a database password in the same position as the SrcLocale parameter displayed by IntelliSense. See the REFERENCES section of this article for more information on the syntax used in code to pass a password through to a database that is protected. It is also important to note that the Jet35upd.exe is available as an upgrade designed to fix problems with the CompactDatabase method in Jet 3.5.
