Repair & Compact Database

This is one of the more important ways you can make sure your system is performing properly. In eTEK Accounting for Microsoft Office 2007 & 2010 this has been automatically taken care of for you. Specifically, as shown in the graphic below, the Access Options (which you can open by clicking on the Office Button at upper left on your screen) for your system (current database) should always be set so that your database is automatically "repaired & compacted" when you close it (note the red arrow is pointed to how your system should already be set).
