Hi, I need to make db backup From my vbproject when db is running.

a) it's necessary to close db before, and how is better to do that?
b) drive a need to have free space, how I know free disk space?
c) How can I compact database from vbcode?

then, it's enough to make a copy?

VB Code:
  1. [COLOR=blue]FileCopy[/COLOR]  C:\DataBase1,A:\DataBase1

And, the last question...how I know when the copy is end, for open db again

Thank, sorry by my english
