>> Joe,
>> How the heck do you remember what problem I had back in 2008? I can't even remember what happened last week!
>> Deleting the cutil.mdb file did the trick. I am still running Vista, but have DXB2007 installed at the root level, not in Program Files so there is no Virtual Store problem. Thanks again for bailing me out of yet another conundrum.

Apparently the abort of the compact utility left behind a temporary database file somewhere on my system, Vista 32. How do I clear this up so I can again compact my database before uploading to Clublog and my Dropbox account?
