Question : Access - locking users out before a back up

Hi,

i will be backing up a db - please offer how i can send a reminder email to all users 15 minutes prior to back up, and then have the db automatically lock the users out at the designated time.

Also, i will be creating a macro to copy the database at this time - and in this macroi there is an option to lock out users. However, upon my initial attempts - I get the error message:

The command or action 'CopyDatabaseFile' isn't available now. I have placed the copy db macro in a second db called Back-Up. This macros did not work from the original db either.

Hope this made sense, and am looking forward to your suggestions.

Thank you.

Answer : Access - locking users out before a back up

Use a WHERE clause filtering the dates BETWEEN Date() and (Date()+14)
