Restore database. Serious (1 Viewer)

I want to restore my secure databse from yesterdays back up tape. Can I simply overwrite the mdb file with yesterdays keeping the same name. Will the secured mdw file still be able to open it. Or do I have to replace other files too.

Brian,

There's only one sure way to know for sure but I think you're OK simply restoring yesterday's file. I would recommend, however, that rather than overwriting your current file, simply rename it (give it a different extension, like "old" -- and make sure nobody's using it when you do this) and/or copy it to another location. Just in case...

Regards,
Tim

Just put the mdb file back on and you'll be ok. The shortcut and security file will still work.
