Hi.
You don't mention the error message, but I can guess. And Microsoft Access
crashed immediately following the message, didn't it? It's due to an
"unhandled error exception" when copying a module object from one Access 97
database to another. Use the "DoCmd.CopyObject" method for copying tables,
queries, forms, reports, and macros to another database, but use the
"DoCmd.TransferDatabase" method for copying modules. Use the following code
to copy your tables and module:
DoCmd.CopyObject "\\ServerName\DirName\RealData.MDB", "EZAActuals",
acTable, "EZA_Actuals_MSD"
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access",
"\\ServerName\DirName\RealData.MDB", acModule, "CalcEZADates", "CalcEZADates"
DoCmd.CopyObject "\\ServerName\DirName\RealData.MDB", , acTable,
"EZADates"
A few warnings are in order:
1.) If a module exists in the destination database that has the same name
as your source module, the destination database module will be overwritten
with the module in your source database, and you won't get the warning
message asking you if this is acceptable as you would with the
"DoCmd.CopyObject" method.
2.) When copying multiple database object types from one Access 97 database
to another, don't use the "DoCmd.TransferDatabase" method for any of the
database object types other than the module. You can get the "Object invalid
or no longer set" error if attempting to export multiple object types in
sequence with the "DoCmd.TransferDatabase" method. There's no such problem
with the "DoCmd.CopyObject" method.
HTH.
