Couple days ago I posted a way to create .bat file to backup DXBase critical files. My version was based on Tony Cash's batch file.
Well duh! Don't know why I didn't think of this. But I used the Programs Menu feature to create a 'Backup' by Adding it to the Menu. So I don't even have to close DXB. For some reason while you can't Copy/Paste your .mdb file with DXBase open using Windows Explorer. I can run the batch file from within DXBase and it will copy files with no problem. I think Windows Explorer will not allow you to move a file currently being used by a program. But the batch file, which runs in a Dos box, will. Remember if you haven't backed up...it's not a question of IF. just a matter of WHEN! ----------------------------------------------------- Beauty is skin deep; ugly goes right to the bone. ----------------------------------------------------- W9OL, Bill H. in Chicagoland
