texte = Hi Howard, I have a fairly simple script that identifies .db's in the same directory as the template and lets you write an insecure file to a "db_s" directory. I have on several occassions entertained the idea of making the template stationary and having it identify all the .db's within any given directory. Then it could write them to a specified directory. I don't think this function would be too difficult to ammend to my utility. If you did this I would be glad to see a copy. ;-) I believe it is still up at Brian's site: webdnadev.net Something like.. have a form which requests the top level directory and the directory to which you want to write all the backups. use some sort of nesting listfiles code that identifies the directories and the .dbs. (when it finds a .db it writes it [see transform code] to the given backup directory.)
