Post #119,677 by cforde 10/1/03 1:25:49 AM Reply	the first thing to do is backup the data before you do anything to it. There's probably a Backup or Export option under a menu somewhere. That will make a copy of the data so that if you make a mistake you can recover using the data in that copy. Anytime you're going to make a change (insert/update/delete/drop/alter) make sure that you can undo it by having a backup. If ever something goes wrong/unexpected happens, and it will, you will be glad to have the backup ready. Backups are like toilet paper: lots is not a problem; not having enough is embarrasing...

That would be easier than learning how Access can back up tables. That way she won't lose anything, or have to learn something complex until later. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
