how to backup database

[channelmaster]

How can i back up my database to to another folder and import it again in case my database becomes corrupt. The idea is when I choose to exit from my menu, it will automatically back up without creating an error "file is in use". I have tried to use "close all" but it seems did not work. thanks in advance

Maybe you can try to add-on another line "Close tables all" or "Close database"

Or
Close Database YourDataBaseName
Close Tables All

That should do it! Tekno

If you just can't figure it out, try this:
[tt]
CLOSE ALL
CLEAR ALL
[/tt]
That should get everything closed down in most circumstances, but it's clumsy. Make sure ALL forms are closed before doing this!

The best place for this is at the end of your main PRG file after your READ EVENTS command. Good luck!

CLOSE DATABASES (whitout ALL)

The problem still persist "file is in use".

I hate to ask an obvious question, but is this a single user application?
