Restoring Data From Backup

 
Your data (players, picks etc) is stored in a single file. The file is pool05.mdb. This is a Microsoft Access file. All your data is in this file.
This file is automatically backed up every time you enter the 'Final Scores' for the week.
You may also want to backup pool05.mdb manually and put the backup on a different drive.

The backup files are in:  c:\Program Files\Football Pool\BACKUP   (assuming you installed football pool in the default location.)
 

If you think your datafile is corrupt:,  first try the 'Repair Database' option. There is a button on the 'Logon Screen' that says 'Repair Database'.

 
When the system does the automatic backup, your first backup will be named Bkup_001.mdb, your second will be Bkup_002 and so on. Use your latest backup. If that one doesn't work, try the next latest, etc.
 
To restore from a backup, just rename the backup file to pool05.mdb and place it in the 'Football Pool' directory.
