[] Make a new directory (folder) with a copy of the databases in it, then from BK main menu, either: use File | Open Database (or just Ctrl+O) and type the new folder name in (may have to give full path), or: File | Open list of databases (Alt-f, p), where you can also type in the path to the new folder, or you can (create and) edit a list of such folders. There is also an automatic search for such folders: File | Utilities > Find BK6 database, but that just crashed for me: I have mine on D:, which I pointed it to; it found my database, and carried on searching as one might expect, then popped up a little box that said Path not found, OK, but when I OKd it, BK went back to its main menu and popped up another little box File not found, OK, which when clicked kept reappearing, and I eventually had to crash BK from Task Manager; fortunately it seems not to have damaged the database. So I'd stick to one of the first two methods. Of course, once you have duplicated your database, the two will not be linked. -- J. P. Gilliver.

In fact, enthusiasms are good. Hobbies are healthy. They don't harm anybody. - James May in RT, 6-12 November 2010.
