can i copy my database to a new databasefile using VB6?

55 New Member
Hi programmers! my program is an automated logsheet. i was wondering because a logsheet can be so long given a week or months even years of logging in and out i was wondering maybe if i could save the database to a new dbase file (emptying my logsheet database in the process. this is to ensure i would not run out of space as databases has its limitation.

or any suggestion in a database that i could use?

or am i just overthinking?

Try FileCopy function to backup your database and save it to another hardisk or removable disk then you can delete all loglist record from your database to save space. That's it. :)
