Setting Automatic Backups

[mxnmx]

I have a program that saves all the data to MS Access, I wish to provide a small dialog thru which the program automatically backs up that MS Access Database after whatever time interval set by the user....how can I do this that every evening or every week or every fortnight my program asks user to insert the diskette into A drive for backup????

Normal backups are not done on premises - instead they are usually done on the daily, weekly and monthly basis. You may create a program (totaly independent) that will run every night or once a week/month and schedule it through Windows scheduler (regardless of windows version). Backups for MS Access generally speaking are just a copy of an original mdb file. You may also create a script that will copy original file to backup folder with DATE/TIME stamp.
