I did a little searching in the groups but have been unable to find this
information. If someone could offer advice I would really appreciate it.

I have split the database so that multiple people can use it and so I can
continue to develop the front end. I want a button on my swithcboard to
back up the database . I have no problem with that, a simple macro
accomplishes this. My problem is I need away to backup the actual linked
tables int the backend too.

I played around with open database command in macros but I don't understand
what's going on. Any thougts or ideas on the best way to accomplish this.

TIA
