I have an access database that is used to keep track of incidents. There are about three programs total in the whole thing, and their all seperate MS Access databases. What I wanted to do is code it somehow so that they save in a totally seperate directory every hour. The reason I want to do this is although back-ups are done everynight, I'm worried if the programs ever do crash lets say in the middle of the day, that they will still lose those incidents that were entered that day (they could lose up to 10 incidents and they are really long and tedious to enter) so if there is someway to back-it up every hour so that the back-up directory just keeps on writing over itself than losing one hour of data is better than losing 5 or 6. Thanks in advance
