How can I call Access's Compact and Repair Database utility from within C++? I'm already using ADO and ADOX, so a solution using either of those would be handy.

How can I programmatically repair (not merely compact) an Access .mdb file?
You can do this using COM to access the JRO.JetEngine object. There is an example in C# at CodeProject which shouldn't be too hard to convert to C++.
UPDATE: Thanks to @le dorfier, here is an article with C++ example.

Yes, I saw that one there - however, I am asking about a C++ solution, which neither that question, nor any of the answers seemed to address.
