    Is it possible within a VB6.0 database application using an MDB database to add a procedure to restore (overwrite) a file which has been backed up to a floppy. I have a menu button which backs up to the floppy, but can only restore with a batch file from DOS. This seems a clutzy solution, but I can't find a better one.

    I've used the FileCopy function and that works fine for me....just release all connections to your database before you restore the MDB file

    Thanks 'Guru'. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how to release all connections to my database!
