I'm surprised that when I go to File-->Backup Database within Access
only the front end is backed up.
Surely I'm missing some setting that I have to select so Access backs
up both front end and back end.
Any ideas?
Thanks 6 4025
you're surprised? Umm... and how exactly is Access supposed to figure
out you're using a split database unless you tell it? Write a batch
file?
Umm... am I supposed to be surprised that you're not psychic and didn't
figure this out/read my mind?

Question: I didn't know there was a "File-->Backup Database" command in
Access. I am using Access 2002 (XP) and have never seen that menu
option. Is it only in Access 2003? or do you require certain references
or add-ins for it to work?
Thanks!
Jim
Jim: It does exist in Access 2003 but I found out that it was not in
Access 2002.
I wish it would backup the program AND it's linked tables instead of
just the programs but I just put a button VB procedure on a form to
backup the tables. I copied some of the code from this NG. Here it
is:
Private Sub cmdBackupTables _Click()
sAppFileBruce =
"C:\SurgeonData base\Backup\Bac kupforBruce\Bru ceTableBackup" &
DatePart("m", Date) & DatePart("d", Date) & DatePart("yyyy" , Date) &
".mdb"
sAppFileOld = "C:\SurgeonData base\Backup\Old TableBackup.mdb "
sAppFileBak = "C:\SurgeonData base\Backup\Cur rentTableBackup .mdb"
sAppFileData = "C:\SurgeonData base\Program\Wo rkingTableDB_be .mdb"
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connectio n
Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
Set cnn = CurrentProject. Connection
rst.ActiveConne ction = cnn
rst.Open "SELECT * FROM tblCompanyFacts ", cnn, adOpenKeyset,
adLockOptimisti c, adCmdText
rst.MoveFirst
If rst.Fields("Bac kupCounter") >= 3 Then
If Len(Dir(sAppFil eBruce, vbDirectory)) <> 0 Then
Kill sAppFileBruce
End If
FileCopy sAppFileData, sAppFileBruce
rst.Fields("Bac kupCounter") = 0
End If
Kill sAppFileOld
FileCopy sAppFileBak, sAppFileOld
Kill sAppFileBak
FileCopy sAppFileData, sAppFileBak
MsgBox "Your Data Table has been backed up!", vbOKOnly
rst.Fields("Bac kupCounter") = rst.Fields("Bac kupCounter") + 1
rst.Fields("Las tBackup") = Date()
rst.UpdateBatch
tboLastbackup.R equery
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
is the code you are using adding records to a single backup database?
Just a thought about this: Coudn't you use the VBA copyfile procedures
using the scripting file system objects that are listed in Helen
Feddema's stuff referenced above. Youc could modify them to copy your
back end file instead of the Current Database, as she has the code.
This would give you a newly named file each time you back up. I'm not
sure the code you are using does that... (I always struggle reading
other people's code.)
I am trying to figure out a way to:
1) Backup the database, then
2) Run compact and repair with the push of a button.
Helen's code looks like it could handle the backup with a little
modification.
The tricky thing with this is that I need to disconnect all the links
before I can compact and repair. I would then want to restore the
links. It should not be too hard.
My end users have a hard time remembering to open the back end to
compact and repair... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I have a split database (A2K). The back end was originaly on drive J.
IT changed some network stuff and eliminated the J drive. The back end
is now on the F drive. When the front end is opened, it looks for the
back end on the J drive and displays a message saying the filepath of
the back end is not a valid path.
Is there any way to reconnect the front end to the back end?

Hi,
I've been using an Access application I wrote for an office with the
front-end stored on all computers and the back-end on one of them serving as
an Access file server.
Now we're moving to a 2nd office 15 minutes down the road. Only one office
will be open at a time, so theoretically it'd be possible to copy the
back-end manually every night from one office to another, but frankly,
that's pretty annoying.

I have a question somewhat related to this topic, and I don't know

in access, that I'd like to share with less than 10 users. I'd like
each user to see only some of the records in the database. So for
example, if I have eight users in eight countries, I want each of them
to only see information for their country.

Does some have the code/INSTRUCTIONs as to where to put the code for an
automatic back up every day @ 6pm?
Also, is it true that when you back up your db from <Tools> menu it will not
back up the BE if you have your database split? If so, what is the FASTEST
way to back up a split db?

Whenever anyone has a question about securing an Access database he/she
is usually referred (unsurprisingly) to the Security FAQ. This is
however incomplete/unclear with respect to databases with a separate
front-end and back-end, which is rather surprising considering that all
Access databases should be split into a separate front-end and back-end.
Noticing that there are quite a lot of questions on this subject in the
Access newsgroups...

I have a Back End database (split) that is on a smokin' hot machine
(dual processor, 2 gig RAM, XP Pro SP2) and I'm getting an error that
says the database (back end file) is "opened exclusively" by someone
else.
I looked at the number of sessions and noticed that when the number of
sessions were at 10, any new user launching the front end would get
the "exclusive" error message.
There is no security in place and no login required.
