John,
Sorry John but I guess I'm a bit lost. I'm not too keen on making code so I made a new module and inserted the DBEngine.CompactDatabase. When the debug ran I got Compile error, Invalid Outside Procedure.
Also, if when compacting a db Access does not make a separate copy of a database, how can that be used as a backup since there is no duplication?

Russ-
The user won't see the back end. This can happen from the front end as long as there are no bound forms or reports open. The code could run from your main "switchboard" that is probably unbound. You'll get a trappable error if the command can't get exclusive access to the backend during the "compact" that's doing the copy. Note that Access never compacts a database into itself. It compacts into a new database, then deletes the old and renames the new if successful. So, CompactDatabase run by itself creates a clean "copy" of the database.

John,
I can backup the backend simply with Access by opening the backend, but I would rather not have a user go through all that. Actually I only want them to access the data through the front end.

have the database open (which is what you want anyway) when you run it.

Access has a way of backing up the front end of a db in the Manage area, but
can the backend, where the real data is, be backed up from the front end
without having to open the backend?
