There are two ways to compact/repair the database outside of ThumbsPlus. Open Access and go to File | Open Database. Change the Files of Type to All Files and locate the thumbs.td4 file in your Thumbs4 folder. Once you have the TP database open, go to Tools | Database Utilities | Compact Database/Repair Database. If this does not work, try going to Control Panel | 32 Bit ODBC | Add | Microsoft Access Driver | Finish | Compact/Repair and find the TP database in the Thumbs4 folder. Make sure to change the Database Name to *.td4. Once you have located the database, click on OK.
