Hi -- I've read the posts and since i'm not a programmer didin't understand
most of them, but what i did gather is you don't backup a table inside a
database while it's open. i saw something about batch files but don't know
how to do that. I would like to have a separate Access database have a
button on a form that backsup another database (I"ll settle for a table). I
tried Transfer database, but it doesn't like my argument for Destination. I
simply put the path to the database and the database name. Any help would be
appreciated.
 
Your can send a copy of a table to another database using the macro command
OutputTo. This will overwrite the copy you sent there last time and is not a
good method for backup.

The best way is to have your base on the network server and your LAN folks
do incremental backups each day.
