This method must be run where the database is located, or it will produce an error. If the database is on the server, or accessible to that server via a mapped drive, the method must be run from the server. If the database resides on the Notes client, the method must be run in the Notes client. The method can not be run on one server to compact databases on another server.

A script cannot compact the current database (the database in which the script is running) or the desktop.dsk file.
