How to backup existing Database via CommonDialog?

hi programmers,

how do you backup existing database....

print# Statement didnt work for me

thankyou

Try to be more specific with your questions.

What type of database? What format are you saving to?
As for CommonDialog look in MSDN. The only thing I'll remind you of here is that CommonDialog is used for selecting a filename only. It does not actually save the file for you.

If it is a .MDB file, you can just close all connections to the database and
copy the file to another name.

There are also Access commands to duplicate (and compact) a database.

I think therefore I am... sometimes right. images/icons/wink.gif

Thanks alot guys for helping out...ive done it in a different way now, its just a matter of not being familiarize with commonDialog control
