This is what I'm trying to do that is not working without forcing 4D to quit and reindex separately after compacting. What do you mean by "no longer needed in 16"? There is a Get table fragmentation command that might be saying compaction is needed. > > We do our compacts on 4D Server 64-bit on Windows.

So perhaps Windows does not have the same problem. This is 64-bit Mac (16 and 17). Reindexing/cache is not a problem unless it is done as part of the compact process. It appears MSC does not use the cache at all when it opens for compacting mode.
