I have a situation where a user needs to clone an existing BE database
(stored on a server) to his local machine. Assume the followings...
User goes into the database FE which has linked BE. BE is stroed on a
server.
User needs to be able to click a button on the FE that will clone the
copy of the BE on the server to C:\.
If a copy of the BE already exists at C:\, the clone process should
overwrite the existing copy at C:\.
I THINK this should be easy, but the pain killers I am taking for this
ruptured disc in my back has me a tad loopy (loopier than normal?)
right about now. Any guidance (other than 'don't code while takling
pain killers') is appreciated...
DB
5  1869 
Look at the Dir function in the Help file for checking if a copy of the BE
already exists at C:\. Look at the FileCopy statement to create a clone.
The FE will still be linked to the BE on the server. If you want to relink
to the clone, look at TableDefs and Connection String in the Help file.

When I use FileCopy in an attempt to make a copy of the BE onto the
local machine I get an Access Denied error. It looks as if the BE
cant be copied since the FE that is attempting the copy uses that very
same back end. Since copying a file that is open at the time can lead
to all kinds of nasty gremlins, this is not at all surprising. I can
however already have a copy of the BE (w/o data) on the local machine
and then merely populate the tables in the 'clone' from the data in
the 'live' BE via queries.

Programatically create an mdb file in the folder where you want the copy of
the backend then use the TransferDatabas e method to import all the tables in
your backend to the new file.

You need to close all forms and recordsets (and unlikely but reports too) which are
bound to the backend. You likely have a form which is open agains the backend for
performance purposes.
You can verify that all such are closed when there is no longer an .ldb file against
the backend.

You could but you'd have to do this in relational sequence. That is parent tables
first, then child tables and child of child tables. If that makes sense.

Does the clone method not create a completely new data reference of the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
