Hi

Try making a backup of your DB then (explorer) just try a drag-n-drop

If this doesn't work post back with more details

How are you trying to do the copy? From *inside* the database? That's not
necessary; you should make a copy using Windows Explorer, and simply copy the
..mdb or .accdb database file. If it is a split database (a frontend with
forms, reports, code etc. and a backend with tables) you need to decide
whether you want to copy just the frontend or both databases; if you copy the
backend you will need to relink from the frontend.
