  • Win 98 network access rights & creating macros to automate backup?

    Hello all,

    I have two problems that I'd be delighted with if anyone can help?

    Firstly, I'm trying to write a macro to automate a backup procedure in
    windows. I've had very little experience in programming/macros but all
    I really need to
    do is to make the macro mimic an enter keystoke on the "start" button
    (and perhaps another) on the windows backup prog. I've looked around
    if I can get the prog to start a backup itself, but it still requires
    some manual commands. Can windows help in this situation or will I
    have to write something in visual basic etc?

    Secondly, I'm looking for a way to make a Windows network have
    user-level access rather than with just passwords. More specifically,
    the part in the network settings where it asks for a server/computer
    name which has the master list of all user's access rights on it.
    There's no documentation to explain this - i.e. where the file should
    be stored on X computer, what format, if I actually store it myself
    etc. I'm talking about just a Win98 network alone without Lantastic,
    Netware etc.

    Anyway, I'd be very appreciative if anyone could offer some help
    thanks!
