can anyone tell me where the data for a particular database is stored in my
computer? is it stored within the .mdb file such that if i opened that file
on another computer with Access, all my data would be there also? or is it
pulling the data from some other place hidden in my computer? thanks!
 
The .mdb file contains all the data, all the objects, all the relationships,
etc.
 
excellent! this is a relief to know. it is another way to 'save' the data
w/o having to export it, just as the microsoft works database does.
 
By "save", I assume that you mean "back up"? Yes, you can back up an ACCESS
database by copying the file and putting it in a safe place. Note: do not
copy an .mdb file while there is an .ldb file for it -- the presence of an
..ldb file means that a user is using the file, and if data
edits/additions/deletions are occurring when you make the copy, the copied
file may be corrupt.
