I want to make a copy of my database to make some changes to see how they look and how I like them. How can I make a copy? I have backed up the database and hoped I could use that feature and just change the name to something other than the name of the current database, but I did not see an option to change the name of the database.

On your computer, go to where the copy is, right click on it and go to "rename" give it a new name and open in BK.

Also, you can make another Backup in a different folder and do the same thing.

Nancy, All the databases have the same name so you only need to copy your existing database to a different folder and then open that folder in BK. All the database files end in .DT6 Jim -----Original Message----- From: bk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Wright Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 9:49 PM To: bk-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BK] Copy Database I want to make a copy of my database to make some changes to see how they look and how I like them.
