  Hi:
  

  
  I've used Access in my application and I'd like to allow users to make a discritionary database backup with one click.
  

  
  My idea is this:
  

  
  User clicks on a button/toolbar and opens Windows Explorer.
  User is then asked to indicate the path he wants the application to file the database backup.
  User clicks OK and the applications does the job.
  

  
  I've read MSD and found three different ways to do that, namely, DUMP, DUPLICATE, REPLICATION. According to MSDN dumping is the most common of all. But I just don't seem to get any idea of the code. Use a commondialog to open WExplorer? What?
  

  
  I will certainly welcome any help (in advance).
  

  
  My sincere thanks.
