Being new to Vis Basic, I can't find out how to allow users to create a backup copy of thier data via a menu command. Can anyone help?

Sorry, there is no command available. You 'll need wirte your own code. I use WinZip to backup files!

Boa sorte.

Can't ya just use filecopy to copy the .MDB file somewhere else?

You could even use an ActiveX control to compress it - I've seen a few around, you may even be able to find a nice neat module to zip it...
