Need Help With API

[Guest]

I'm a newbie to API's. The Copy Database API at
www.mvps.org/access/api/api0026.htm?? is what I want to use. How do I use
it/get it to work??

Create a new module (not a class module), copy everything between "Code
Start" and "Code End" on that page, and paste it into the module.

Remember when saving the module that modules cannot have the same name as
routines saved within them: to be safe, name your module something like
mdlBackup.

To backup, you'd put something like the following code somewhere in your
application (probably on the Click event of a Backup button, or in the
Unload event of your switchboard form):

If fMakeBackup() Then
MsgBox "Backup was successful."
Else
MsgBox "Backup failed."
End If
