I would convert the application to an external form file. That way it is not connected to any database.

At Year end, we save a copy of the current DB, under a newname, ie: 'YrEnd12' and store it in "PrevYears" Directory We then purge most data older than 1 year from the current database. It would be nice for employees to open those old DB's using our current application. I would like to make a copy of our current application using a different name, that would start with a choose command before opening, allowing a user to open a previous years DB and run the application on it. Since the selection of a Database in Applicaton Designer is done before the on start action is begun, I don't see how this is possible. I know I could create a copy of the app for each year, but that seems more difficult than should be necessary. Any ideas ? Dick Fey Carpet Broker Inc.
