I want to backup my front end Access 2000 DB to diskette to keep safe offsite. I receive an error 'not enough disk space'. How can I have Access span 2 or more disks - as I can in other DB programs - ie QuickBooks Pro???
 
You would have to have some sort of utility to do that for you. Access won't do it. It would have to be a utility that would split a single file, as the .mdb file is all self conatined.

What about a zip drive? They are less than a $100, and one 100 mb disk will hold the equivalent of 72 floppies. Jim Lunde
