Save on Exit

[jk]

Hello,

I is there a way to automatically save the entire DB when the user exits ?
Could it be done through a button on the switchboard to save it to the
documents folder?

Thanks

A database is not held in memory and then saved all at once like a document.
Changes are saved as you leave each changed record.

I am using a BE / FE database so i presume that the only way would be to save
the folder in which the tables reside into a external drive once a week just
in case a hard drive failure. Is this correct?

Thanks

If you want to "make a copy" then as long as you close everything in the front
end that connects to the back end you can use the FileCopy command to make a
copy of the BE to another location.
