then you can just have a link or a form button that goes to that
page??
if you plan on making a regular backup, you would have to have
strSQL = "drop table [backup name]"
conn.execute (strSQL)
I think, though I did not test, this is a very nice way to do it.
Perhaps having a small pile of backups could be even safer:
strSQL = "drop table [backup3]"
conn.execute strSQL
strSQL = "select * into [backup3] from [backup2]"
conn.execute strSQL
strSQL = "drop table [backup2]"
conn.execute strSQL
strSQL = "select * into [backup2] from [backup1]"
conn.execute strSQL
strSQL = "drop table [backup1]"
conn.execute strSQL
strSQL = "select * into [backup1] from [table]"
conn.execute strSQL
or perhaps more efficient, work with a ring of backup tables and a
'mostRecentBackup' pointer in a seperate small table that could also
accomodate the datetime of each backup.
