Database Backup

[Guest]

I have a database that I want to backup and it wont let me. It is password
protected with the standard Access Protection and I have full admin rights
and as far as I can find permission to do anything (I wrote it). But I keep
getting the following errors. Can I back this up or should I just copy the
files to a backup location?

Thanks for the help.

How are you backing it up? Can't you just open Windows Explorer and
right-click the file, select copy, then open the backup folder and select
"paste"?

Exactly how are you trying to back it up?

Have you considered just copying the mdb or mde file?

That's what I ended up doing. I was trying to use the "Back up Database"
command that is in MS Access and it didn't work.

Guess the easyiest thing will be to just copy it. Just trying to use the
tools provided.

Thanks

Do a Compact on the db
or attempt
Docmd.DeleteObject [acQuery]|[acTable],"~TMPCLP203831"

Where is that command and what version are you using?
