**Contact FMS if you do not have Total Access Agent 8.01 or above
This patch update is designed for existing installations of Total Access
Agent 8.01 through 8.04. It will not install if an existing installation of
Agent 8.01 or above is not found. The patch makes a minor change in the way
that Agent performs its Compact/Repair operation.
Total Access Agent 8.01 was designed, based on recommendations from
Microsoft, to perform the Repair operation after the Compact operation. This
can result in the database actually growing larger after Repair than it was
after the Compact. The size of the database, when using Agent 8.01 was
equivalent to what you would get if you used Access itself to Compact and
then Repair a database.
This update changes the behavior back so that the Repair operation is
performed first, followed by the Compact operation. The size of the
databases compacted by Agent should now be the same size as databases
compacted by Access itself when the Repair option is not run.
If this new behavior is not satisfactory, you can control the order in
which Agent will Compact and Repair databases by changing a registry
setting.
These enhancements were
added:
- When an existing
event is changed or deleted, all other existing events retain their
properties and settings.
- Events are executed
at the proper time for all regional Date/Time settings. This error was
reported in instances when the date/time settings were set to 24 hour
for certain International version of Windows.
- Secured databases
are handled properly for users without passwords
- Resolves "Type
Mismatch" error in Countries using comma as the decimal separator.
- Number of Indexes is
shown properly.
- Passwords are now
being assigned to the correct database during the Compact and Repair
Action.

Alternatively, you might wish to obtain the Jet 3.51 update from
Microsoft. This updated component automatically incorporates Repair
functionality into the Compact operation. If Agent 8.01 detects that Jet
3.51 is installed, the Repair operation is not performed, and the size of
the database after using Agent should be equivalent to the size when using
Access's Compact utility.
