Leezerd,
I have been using a command button to backup my applications for quite a while. It is actually doing what it should - I have needed the files at times. (You should check the file dates of the backup files to ensure they are being updated after testing the command button.)
Rather than using success = @SelectTreeItem("NewSesameApplication!Application Utilities") and having the macro select "Backup Application", you can simply use
Success = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Application Utilities!Backup Application") instead.
To record the macro, open your application:
1) Select
Backup Application from the application utilities menu. (You should now see a window where you select a filename to use. Don't click anything just yet.)
2) Turn macro recording ON by pressing Shift-F2.
3) Click in the
Filename text box.
4) Press the End key to make sure the cursor is at the end of the text that is already there.
4a) Press Shift-Home. This will highlight the default entry, so when you type it will be replaced.
5) Type in the filename you want for your backup copy.5a) Type the entire path and filename. (i.e. "D:\MyDocuments\Sesame\Data\backupbpinew.db")
6) Click on Accept.
6a) Select "File" from the program menu, then select "Exit".
7) Turn macro recording OFF by pressing Shift-F2.
