- I have "General SQL Error" about "not
a valid path" when starting New SPEKTRA. What is this error mean?
This error means that server has not been turned "on" yet.
A "server" means a computer where database file ('master.mdb') has been put into.
Turn server "on" and your problem will be dissapear.

- How can I backup my database?
All you need to do is copying file "master.mdb" into a safe place. If your master.mdb file size is too large then you can compress it using WinZip or another similar program.
"Master.mdb" file usually reside at folder :
"C\Program Files\Petra Christian University\New SPEKTRA\Database\"
or another folder you choose at installation time.
