I can't figure out whether you're offering a database or asking a question,
and if it's a question, what you're asking.

Davi,

I am struggling to answer your questions. I don't think I've
succeeded, but I've tried anyway.

My comments are in-line below.

I am not sure what this list represents.


This link leads to a Google internet directory for chats and forums.

I am not sure what this link has to do with your post.

If your filepath exists, it is ok.

Don't repeat

Don't repeat what?

Backup
How to backup in the same time?

For MS Access, backups are best conducted when no users are using the
database.

For concurrent database backups that are accurate and reliable, you'll
need a different database product.

Use frequently

So there is a multi-user requirement?

Split your database.

How to assure data will not be modified when use? Set rights?

You would design your database settings and Forms so that data
wouldn't be modified at the wrong time.

Or something in window? Not in data sheet mode use?

I'm not sure what you mean, can you clarify?


Sincerely,

Chris O.
