Lacey,
I wasn't really following the thread....do you need to make changes to
one of the data tables?
Leah currently has the 'official' copy of FoxPro babase right now so
neither you nor I can make changes to anything.... you have to wait for
Leah to turn over the official babase to you. She'll transfer it via
papio and I'm sure she'll show you how to download it and replace the
old files in Babase.
Once you have the official database, you can either back it up on CD, or
in another part of your hard drive (I use an external hard drive with
backup software). Just label it clearly as a backup and throw it away
as soon as you don't need it. The copy from Leah will also remain on
papio as a back-up, so really you already have a back-up there before
you even do anything else.
Once we are online, we won't have to do any of this back-and-forth and
'official' copies etc.
