    This VBA code periodically backs up customer records from a "Customers" database table to a text file. It opens the recordset, loops through each record, builds a string of field values separated by pipes, writes each record string to the text file, then closes the file and recordset. The process is run on a timer to provide regular automated backups of the customer data.
