Access - How do I automatically backup the "Back End" of a split database either from a button on a form or on closing of the database?

Asked by Newbie_ in Microsoft Access Database, Access Architecture/Design

Tags: Microsoft, Access 2007

Hi All,  I'd like to create a button on a form which will backup the back end of my split database and place the backup file into a specific folder with the date in the name.  i.e. "Marketing_Database_be_Backup_23-07-08.accdb".  I'd also like it to do this when the databse is closed too.

I have found help here: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Microsoft/Development/MS_Access/Q_21010600.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+access+backup+close

But i cannot find out how to run the module from a button... or really understand what the function does!!
