Thank you for your suggestion.
First I compacted to very little effect. I then repaired with similarly small changes. Finally, on your suggestion I compacted again with a reduction of 4GB. This is about right because the new database (that is, the one I created by copying the archived items to a blank database) is just under 5GB. The math does not match, but I suppose there are other cosiderations.
This database was repaired using your extrnal tool before pruning. I wanted to be sure before undertaking such a large operation. Is there some corruption taking place under these conditions which require another repair before being able to compact successfully?
By the way, doesn't your external repair tool repair AND compact?
