We have an excellent Menu system, built with Application Designer that
works on our current database.
At Year end, we save a copy of the current DB, under a newname, ie:
'YrEnd12' and store it in "PrevYears" Directory
We then purge most data older than 1 year from the current database.
It would be nice for employees to open those old DB's using our current
application.
I would like to make a copy of our current application using a different
name, that would start with a choose command
before opening, allowing a user to open a previous years DB and run the
application on it.
Since the selection of a Database in Applicaton Designer is done before
the on start action is begun, I don't see how this is possible.
I know I could create a copy of the app for each year, but that seems
more difficult than should be necessary.
Any ideas ?
