<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Tom and Tom, <br>    I have just one small comment about what ..... Tom  ..... wrote  ;-). The file that you are looking to copy is named piano(date).mdb  .  Substitute (date) for the number of the day  i.e.  piano20020131.mdb for today piano20020201.mdb for tomorrow piano20020202.mdb for the next day and so on.  Otherwise everything .... Tom .... wrote is correct as long as the directory that you installed PTBiz into is the same. I tend to never use the default installation so mine is not but yours probably is. Hope this helps. <p>Greg <p>Tom Servinsky wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> <font size=-1>Tom,</font><font size=-1>I'll add to what Greg wrote about the backing up of PTBiz files.

Then scroll down to Program Files. Again hit the + icon next to Program Files, then scroll down to the PTBiz file. Click on PTBiz then on the right side of the screen you'll see the date in which you last backed up, along with a 7-8 digit number. That's your backup.</font><font size=-1>Now you have to copy that file ( top of page in Edit), then go to the File column (far left) and go to SEND TO. Press SEND TO and determine which drive you want to save the backup in. My A drive is the floppy drive, so I send it to a: drive. You'll then see it the information being transferred over to the disk drive. Done.</font><font size=-1>Again, make sure you take the time to THANK (@#?$) the author for this programming shortcoming. He wonders why more of his programs never sold. Well, it's for reasons like this that makes the program laborious to use.</font><font size=-1>Tom Servinsky,RPT</font> <blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px"> <div style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message -----</div> <div style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:carpthos@televiso.com" title="carpthos@televiso.com">Thos.
