I seem to remember a request for this a while back, and I think your answer was one of the I'll have a look and see versions. Is my memory correct and if so is it going to happen (maybe next year)? With an app I'm working on I have a file which has to be read and used as part of the mechanism for opening the tables and if it gets lost the app is dead. Roy Lambert |

It does have a command-line addon utility so you can backup and restore files from your application. (www.winzip.com). Richard Harding |

>In the mean time, have you considered using WinZip? It does have a command-line addon utility so you can backup and restore files from your application. (www.winzip.com). Yup, or rolling my own backup system totally, or just telling people to make a copy of the file but Tim's inbuilt stuff is more attractive. Roy Lambert |

Or does this file include info for opening the tables (table names or encryption) - still could use separate special session/table to store file but now steps get bit more complex. Raul |

Or does this file include info for opening the tables (table names or encryption) - still could use separate special session/table to store file but now steps get bit more complex. That's it exactly, it would have to be a separate session/database/table and without testing my memory says you can only back up a database not two of them together. Roy Lambert |
