loop

[Frank Dulk]

in that code it goes by the loop and it already goes direct for msgbox as
if had made the backup but in a did


Dim x As Variant, z As String
Dim y As Integer, w As Integer
z = "back"
x = Array("tst", "tst1", "tst2", "tst3", "tst4")
For y = 1 To y = 5 Step 1
w = y
DoCmd.OpenTable (x(w))
Application.ExportXML acExportTable, x(w), "c:\" & (x(y) & z) & ".xml"
DoCmd.Close acTable, x(w), acSaveNo
Next
MsgBox " finished backup", vbOKOnly


For who to help a thank you very much already early

Try

For y = 1 to 5 step 1 ...

You may also want to try using more than single letter
variable names and prefixing them with their data types
(eg varFiles) to improved readability.

It doesn't look like you need w.

Good Luck.
