Access doesn't store "file databases". An Access Database is a .mdb
file, which can contain many Tables, Forms, Reports and other objects.

Open My Computer and use Search. Search for all files named *.mdb -
or, if by some chance you happen to remember the name you assigned the
database, search for it.

Just copy the MDB file to the disk drive; one way to do so is to right
mouseclick it in Windows Explorer or My COmputer, and choose Send from
the dropdown menu. Then choose your CD drive from the options. As for
BlueRay, I don't know, not having ever used a Blue-Ray disk. Check the
documentation from the manufacturer.

A single MDB file is limited to 2 GByte. I've used tables with
20,000,000 records so you should be in reasonably good shape with a
thousanth of that size... <g>

If you're being sarcastic, I'll be glad to put you in my killfile.

If you're serious, get a copy of a Windows basic tutorial (Windows for
Dummies is actually pretty good, despite the title - I'm not trying to
issue a put-down here!) and learn how to use Windows. There is an icon
labeled "My Computer" either on your desktop or on the start menu.
Click it and then click the Search button on the toolbar.
