I'm trying to make a backup database button on my switchboard. Is this possible? If so, then what's the Back up Database run code command? Any help will be appreciated.

What you describe is not possible (to my knowledge). An Access MDB must be
closed before a copy/backup operation. DBMaint is a good third-party tool for MDB compact and backup. -Ed "Clockwork" wrote in message ...

Thanks. Although I've already read about how it has to be closed before it can be backed up. But When you click on the Back up Database option under Database Utilities It closes the MDB you have open, backs it up, and then reopens the file. That's what I failed to mention. Maybe I misunderstood what I've read?

What you state is correct. Remember though, you're trying to use code
contained within an mdb to: close itself, then reopen - a desirable, but impossible task. -Ed "Clockwork" wrote in message ... Thanks.
