Normally, I wouldn't think you'd put the data in separate databases - just in separate records within the same database.
I did do one app where I put the data in separate databases, and wrote an entry into a "directory" database for each file created. The Conduit does the cleanup. You don't need to worry about the archive bit as the Backup Conduit is not supposed to even see your files/databases. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Free software - Baxter Codeworks www.baxcode.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Gary Olmstead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > I am creating databases that hold sampled data from a data acquistion system.
