I have created a project costing database. I want to give
users the ability to make backups of the mdb file via
a "utility" form within the database. When the user
chooses to create a backup, I would like a new mdb file be
created, that includes a timestamp in the name, and
includes all the database objects from the original
database.
Any ideas?
 
It is really better to run the backup outside the mdb, like by a task
scheduler that comes with the OS. The take would simply copy the mdb to a
folder using timestamp as part of the name. If you don't use VB, you may be
able to code it in another mdb that get executed on a schedule.
