Could you try restoring the other db with another name and changing the connection string in the app? [JS] I could, but it would be a nuisance. The app is MS Access, so there isn’t just one string to change. Fortunately my database only takes about 30 minutes to load, so this wasn’t a huge problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
