Erik, unfortunately since Paradox is not a server database you can't pack
the table while anyone is using it.  In Interbase its called a SWEEP.  The
method involved is to restructure the table, but instead of changing any of
the values pick the option "Pack Table" and then execute.  As far as the
code to do this is concerned I am not sure how to do it but I have a table
creation/rebuilder source code generator I downloaded from somewhere that I
am sending with this note.  You select the tables to create source for and
the program builds a .pas file with all the necessary procedures for
rebuilding your tables on the fly at runtime.

Hope this helps!
