I happened to me yesterday. I had DXBase2007 open, so I closed it and ran
the utility with no problems. It seemed like if the DB file was in use an
error message was generated. It worked for me, hope it works for you tpp.

When I attempt to compact my database on either program I'm running I l
get "error creating temp database." Anyone seen this?

OK here is what I learned from Joe AXE...
First: use the DXB Utility DATABASE tab to COMPACT your database. Mine
showed over 200MB and when compacted it was 5MB!!!
Then Joe applied his utility
(http://www.navycthistory.com/wa6axe/2007chkmdbs.html) to my mdb file and
updated all of the prefixes in my version. While he was at it, he found a
problem I didn't know I had with my refdata file and fixed that too.
I dragged and dropped the new files into the Scientific Solutions DXB2007
Program Files directory, clicked move and replace for each of my MDB file
and my REFDATA file, booted DXBase 2007 and then reinitialized tables.
All is now great - actually better than before my Desktop crashed. I have
backed up the known good MDB and REFDATA as of today.
MAN we are lucky to have someone like Joe who actually LIKES to take a
computer illiterate like me and work me through the solution to my
problem. I'm going to buy his dinner for ALL OF US!
73 and see you in the pileups!
