Question Can an Access DB Auto-Backup On Load (1 Viewer)

[asulliva]

I have inherited an Access 2003 database and I don't know too much about MS Access.

I need the db to back itself up, in the same folder it's in and also affix a date stamp to the end of the file name to avoid confusion. I need this all to happen when someone opens the DB.

Can this be done and if so how?

I use Albert Kallal's solution. It's easy to implement and it works fabulously:
