Even with Vista's design criteria of blocking and impairing use of computers,
it's hard to imagine Vista modifying a file in such a manner. I would
recheck/verify your presumptions:

Is there really data in it before the copy? (how do you know that)

Are you using a simple PC file copy?

Is there really no data (or objects) in your .mdb file after the copy?
(How do you know that?)

This might help you zero in on the problem.

It sounds possibly that you have a "split" database, in which a.mdb does not
in fact actually *CONTAIN* any data - just links to data in some a_BE or
otherwise named backend database. Open a.mdb and look at the Tables tab in the
database window - do the tablenames have a little arrow next to them
(indicating a link to another mdb), or a blue-green globe icon, indicating an
ODBC link?
 
befre copy i open the mdb with access, there has data in the table.
after copy, i open the copy file with same version of access in same pc, no
data in the table.
the copy is right click the file then copy...
any idea?
thx a lot
