<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I need a button which makes a backup of the current open database.<br />
I have tried using the Copydatabasefile macro, but this gived me an error, something like &quot;the command copy database is not available now&quot;. Freely translated from Norwegian. <br />
<br />
Using cmd and the copy function works, but if the database would be moved or renamed, that would cease to work.<br />
<br />
I could use some VB code to generate a bat-file and inject the name of the current open database..<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
