Compact messages

Thanks for this feedback.
It would be helpful if MS just LEFT this program alone. If they ARE going
to
have a programmer make changes, then rewrite this application to use a
proper database that doesn't require this nonsense of compaction.
Compaction was done in the 1970's because few programmers then knew how to
structure databases that did not require compaction, but in the 1980's
most
learnt how to do that. That was 25 years ago
Care to guess when OE was written? eg
