Backup Button on Switchboard

[fox_ninja]

I'm currently making a backup button for my database on a switchboard.
So I have made a macro which runs the function "RunCommand" I then
selected Backup from the list. However when I try to run the macro it
returns with an error called "513" and mentions that an object is not
selected.
I was wondering if it's possible to select the whole database so it is
able to be backed up from the switchboard.
Thanks

You can not backup a database from code that is currently running
within that database.

You'll have to change you database to use a so-called "front end/back
end" (FE/BE) structure. Then, code in the switchboard form in the FE
database, can successfully backup the tables in the BE database, if you
do it properly.

Google for FE/BE, you should find lots of information.
