Did you close OE and then see the prompt to compact? And if so, did you
check OK and let it compact, or did you open OE and do it manually? If you
used the Compact Prompt, you should not see that for another 100 closings,
but manually, you will see it again.

Post back and elaborate, because there is a fix if you did it manually.
