it will probably remain split in the end and used by two folks occasionally
at the same time.

I'm looking for a way that a user could enter the front-end and, through a
very user friendly interface, backup the back-end. If I'm understanding you
correctly, this would not be possible because the backend would be in use at
that time by that user.

I was hoping the user could make a quick backup of the data from within
Access before making a bunch of changes. I guess I'll have to develop some
other means outside of Access. Is this correct?

Thanks again.
