It’s the simplest things I seem to forget…though I don’t know much more than that :/ Thanks Hans

I have a USB drive I back a copy up to…. works great for me. I’m looking into a 180gb external usb drive.

Mr Liquorman,
I’ve been reading on the web site that HansV posted, and splitting the database is exactly what I was looking for. I’ll undoubtedly be on here asking for help throughout that process. Thanks a lot

HansV,
Thanks a lot for the web site, after reading briefly (skimming for a few seconds), I realized that splitting my database and using a front-end design seems to be exactly what I need. That will be another problem for another day….thanks again!

I do use copy….I just don’t want to. I’m confused on the frontend/backend design….could you elaborate a little bit? Basically my computer is the server, with the database running of a shared drive. All 5 of them connect to my computer, pick their query and filter for their company, ensuring no one record is being modified at the same time.

Well, maybe not necessarily ‘archived’, as used in that context, but taking me to another eventual desire, I’d like the database to be backed up at least once a day without manually having to do so, because often times the other database custodians working on it (from the 5 companies) will turn off their computer without closing the program, or do some other funky stuff like trying to delete the lockfile, causing the database to ‘crash’, and it is unable to repair itself. If I could keep, say, a day old snapshot of the database until the next day comes…that would be perfect. I just want to be able to not worry about recreating all the changes that occur throughout the day if the last time I manually backed it up was sometime last week. Then I must try to recreate all the changes that occurred….it’s truly a royal pain…thanks for your help!
