Simple; reload win98, unless you took a back up on day 1, then restore that backup copy

its not like MS Access database where you can simply copy the database and paste it somewhere.\n\nOracle : You can move the whole database to a different location using the oracle manager or you can export the entire database which will create a dump file. However this is done usually for backup purposes. \n\nNOTE: Unmount the database first before doing any of the above. Also what Oracle version you're using 9i or 10g?\n\nhope this helps

There's data adapters built-in to .NET for SQL Server.  Assuming you know how to use data adapters, you can find it as "SQL Data Adapter" in the toolbox in Visual Studio under the "Data" heading.  From here you can set your SQL commands manually or have the wizard do it for you (I strongly recommend doing it manually if you know how).\n\nI'm assuming that the tables are still on an SQL Server?  If not, I imagine you could use an ODBC adapter (you could do this if the files are on the SQL Server as well, but the first method would be easier).

Also, backup operators and administrators can back up and restore encrypted files and folders without decrypting the files or folders.\n1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup. The Backup or Restore Wizard starts.\n2. Click Advanced Mode.\n3. Click the Backup tab.\n4. On the Job menu, click New.\n5. Click to select the check boxes for the drives that you want to back up. If you want to be more specific in your selections, expand the drive that you want, and then click to select the check boxes for the files or folders that you want.\n6. Click to select the System State check box.\n\nNote If you want to back up your system settings and your data files, back up all the data on your computer plus the System State data. The System State data includes such things as the registry, the COM+ class registration database, files under Windows File Protection, and boot files.\n7. In the Backup destination list, click the backup destination that you want to use.\n8. If you clicked File in the previous step, type the full path and file name that you want in the Backup media or file name box. You can also specify a network share as a destination for the backup file.\n9. Click Start Backup. The Backup Job Information dialog box appears.\n10. Under If the media already contains backups, use one of the following steps:\n• If you want to append this backup to previous backups, click Append this backup to the media.\n• If you want to overwrite previous backups with this backup, click Replace the data on the media with this backup.\n11. Click Advanced.\n12. Select the Verify data after backup check box.\n13. In the Backup Type box, click the type of backup that you want. When you click a backup type, a description of that backup type appears under "Description."\n14. Click OK, and then click Start Backup. A Backup Progress dialog box appears, and the backup starts.\n15. When the backup is complete, click Close.\n\n\n                                    RESTORE\n\n\nNote You must have administrative or backup operator credentials on your computer to restore files and folders. Backup operators and administrators can back up and restore encrypted files and folders without decrypting the files or folders.\n\nTo restore files and folders, follow these steps:\n1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup. The Backup or Restore Wizard starts.\n2. Click Advanced Mode.\n3. Click the Restore and Manage Media tab.\n4. Use one of the following steps:\n• If you want to restore from a backup file, expand File, and then expand the backup file that you want. For example, expand Backup.bkf created 01/01/2002 at 1:15 PM. By default, backup includes the date and time of the backup as part of the file name.\n• If you want to restore from a tape backup, expand the tape device that you want, and then expand the media name that you want. For example, expand Travan, and then expand Media created 01/01/2002 1:15 PM.\n5. Select the check boxes for the folders that you want to restore. If you want to be more specific in your selections, double-click the folder that you want, and then select the check boxes for the files or folders that you want to restore.\n6. If you are restoring the whole operating system, select the System State check box.\n\nNote If you want to restore the operating system and your data files, you must restore the System State data.

You should just use NT backup program that comes with Windows.  It is located in Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Backup.  then chose what you want to backup and where.

First you need to disassemble the program. You can do this with Visual Studio. Then you can use a reverse disassembler to regenerate the source code. Reverse disassembly isn't perfect, and will most likely regenerate horrible code, and especially if it was compiled for one language (VB) and regenerated for another (C++). Best thing would be to learn assembly really well, but here's a link that talks about what you want to accomplish:

Open Windows XP Backup\nWindows XP includes its own backup program, although you may need to do some digging to find it. You can also take your pick of third-party programs (listed at the end of this column) that add bells and whistles you won't find in the basic Windows XP Backup utility.\n\nIf you use Windows XP Professional, the Windows Backup utility (Ntbackup.exe) should be ready for use. If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you'll need to follow these steps to install the utility:\n\n1.\n Insert your Windows XP CD into the drive and, if necessary, double-click the CD icon in My Computer. \n \n2.\n On the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP screen, click Perform Additional Tasks. \n \n3.\n Click Browse this CD. \n \n4.\n In Windows Explorer, double-click the ValueAdd folder, then Msft, and then Ntbackup. \n \n5.\n Double-click Ntbackup.msi to install the Backup utility. \n \n\nFor more information, see How to Install Backup in Windows XP Home Edition.\n\nWith that chore out of the way, you're ready to begin backing up. By default, the Backup utility uses a wizard that makes the process straightforward. To start Backup:\n\n1.\n Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup to start the wizard. \n \n2.\n Click Next to skip past the opening page, choose Back up files and settings from the second page, and then click Next. You should see the page shown in Figure 1, which represents your first decision point. \n\n\n\nFigure 1\n\n \n\nTop of page\nDecide What to Back Up\nYou might be tempted to click All information on this computer so that you can back up every bit of data on your computer. Think twice before choosing this option, however. If you've installed a slew of software, your backup could add up to many gigabytes. For most people, the My documents and settings option is a better choice. This selection preserves your data files (including e-mail messages and address books) and the personal settings stored in the Windows Registry.\n\nIf several people use your computer—as might be the case on a shared family PC—select Everyone's documents and settings. This option backs up personal files and preferences for every user with an account on the computer.\n\nIf you know that you have data files stored outside your profile, click Let me choose what to back up. This option takes you to the Items to Back Up page shown in Figure 2.\n\n\n\nFigure 2\n\n\nSelect the My Documents check box to back up all the files in your personal profile, and then browse the My Computer hierarchy to select the additional files you need to back up. If some of your files are on a shared network drive, open the My Network Places folder and select those folders.\n\nThis option also comes in handy if you have some files you now you don't want to back up. For instance, I have more than 20 GB of music files in the My Music folder. To keep my data file backup to a reasonable size, I click the check box next to the My Music folder. This clears the check box from all the files and subfolders in My Music.\n\nTop of page\nDecide Where to Store Your Backup Files\nOn the Backup Type, Destination, and Name page, Windows asks you to specify a backup location. If you're one of those exceedingly rare individuals with access to a backup tape, the Backup utility gives you a choice of options in the Select a backup type box. No tape drive? No problem. Backup assumes you're going to save everything in a single file; you just have to choose a location for that file and give it a name.\n\nBy default, Backup proposes saving everything to your floppy drive (drive A). Although that might have made sense 10 years ago, it's hardly a rational choice today. You'd need dozens, perhaps hundreds of floppy disks to store even a modest collection of data files, especially if you collect digital music or photos.\n\nInstead, your best bet is to click Browse and choose any of the following loc

Hi,\nI am database programmer and use MS Access and SQl and others. Give a detailed example what you exactly want to do. Then I will tell you the design. I never designed a database wrong until now, hehe.\n\nA very important tip for you! If you want later export the database to SQL do NOT use the export wizzard of Access. This wizzard does not work and cost only time. Use the Import Wizzard in SQL. This wizzard works. \n\nNice greetings\nFranky

First, since you didn't mention a particular version of VB, I would recommend using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. Associated with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, you can do really neat things very simply and quickly. Much better than previous editions.\n\nThen I would recommend three books:\n\n\n1. Wrox's Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit \nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764595733\nTo begin. Included is a DVD-Rom containing VB 2005 Express, SQL 2005 Express and all the electronic documentation you'll need in the form of MSDN. The book is clear and good enough for an introduction.\n\n2. Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition for Dummies\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764597051\nThe book itself contains more ranting and lame jokes typical of the "for dummies" style, so it is pretty much useless, but the included CD-Rom contains very good tutorials and sample files that more than make up for the paucity of the book. Very good for a hands-on approach as opposed to the more theoretical approach of the first book.\n\n3. Beginning SQL Server 2005 Express: Database Applications with Visual Basic Express and Visual Web Developer Express  \nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590595238\nIf the website you need to create relies on database and you need more info than contained in the first two books.

you cant change the master password if the SQL database is in use by somebody else or in this case a number of programs i think. Use Visual Basic to write a module that can copy the SQL Database and distribute it to a larger number of people. In this way it will be much safer as you can state the save time like every 5 min the Database gonna update rather than realtime.
