New to Database Development, How do u save a database?

[jgomes]

The subject mostly explains it, but I'll repeat myself, how do u save a database file or CREATE one?

If you use a DAO then the following will solve the purpose

Dim dbname as database
set dbname = createdatabase("path and the name of the database")

This will create a MDB File and if you would like to open a database then

dim dbname as database
set dbname = opendatabase("Path to the database and the name")

Hope this solves your query

Thx for the help. I did a little research on the syntax u gave me. I think I figured it out =]!

Set database = workspace.CreateDatabase (name, locale, options)

hehe

Thx Again

Try this code:
Private Sub DBBackup()
On Error Resume Next
dbsCamp.Close
Msg = ""
On Error GoTo CompactErr
OrigDBName = DBdir & "\Camp.mdb"
Set dbsCamp = OpenDatabase(DBdir & "\Camp.mdb")
'Show the properties of the original database.
'Msg = "Properties of the current Data Base --> " & DBdir & "\camp.mdb database." & Chr(10)
'With dbsCamp
' Msg = Msg & "Name=" & .Name & ", version " & .Version & Chr(10)
' Msg = Msg & " CollatingOrder = " & .CollatingOrder
' MsgBox Msg
' .Close
'End With
' Make sure there isn't already a file with the
' name of the compacted database.
For J = 1 To 50
If Dir(DBdir & "\Campbkup" & J & ".mdb") = "" Then
NewDBName = DBdir & "\Campbkup" & J & ".mdb"
J = 50
End If
Next J
If Dir(NewDBName) <> "" Then _
Kill NewDBName
dbsCamp.Close
' This statement creates a compact version of the
' Camp database called CampBkup.mdb
DBEngine.CompactDatabase DBdir & "\Camp.mdb", _
NewDBName, dbLangGeneral
Set dbsCamp = OpenDatabase(NewDBName)
Msg = "Properties of the your newly created Backup Data Base" & Chr(10)
With dbsCamp
Msg = Msg & "Name=" & .Name & ", version " & .Version & Chr(10)
Msg = Msg & " CollatingOrder = " & .CollatingOrder
End With
MsgBox Msg & Chr(10) & "Data Base --> " & DBdir & "\camp.mdb successfully backed up " & Chr(10) _
& "to file --> " & NewDBName & "."
dbsCamp.Close
Exit Sub
CompactErr:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Msg = Msg & Chr(10)
Msg = Msg & "Error # " & Str(Err.Number) & " was generated by " _
& Err.Source & Chr(13) & Err.Description
MsgBox Msg, , "Error", Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext
End If
EOJ
End Sub
