    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.
