Multi Database
Making a Copy of a Multi Database
1. Launch Admin.
2. Enter the name of an account that has the right to use Admin in the database that you
plan to copy.
TIP! This step for making a copy of a database is not obvious.
Your usual account may not work in the database that you plan to copy. If you use the
database’s Administrator account, the password may differ from the Administrator
account in the Multi db that you usually use.
3. Enter that account’s password.
4. Select the database engine that will read the Multi db that you plan to create.
5. Replace the name of the database with a new name. You can also change the path,
folder and server name, as needed.
TIP! For Windows 98 users using MS-SQL Server or MSDE, a database server name must
be entered.
The database server(s) cannot be automatically identified and listed at log on.
6. Click OK. The Create Database window appears. See Figure 15-4 , above.
7. Select either:
• Create from existing MS Access database. Browse for or enter the location and
name of an
*.mdb
file.
- or -
• Create from existing SQL database. Select a server and enter a database name
of an
*.mdb
file.
8. Click OK. The new database is created based on the data in the model db. The Admin
window appears. The information that you see is a copy of the model database.
Renaming a Multi Database
You can rename a Multi db using standard Windows techniques. For example, use
Windows Explorer to locate an *.mdb file and rename the file as you would any other.
Multi Database Naming Restrictions
TIP! The file name of a local db is
<userid>.mdb
. This is why the name of a Multi db
should not be the same as one of its users.
When adding users to the database, do not use the database name as a user name. A
user account with the same name as the database causes an error when a copy of the
database is made locally.
