COPY .MDB FILE DURING ACTIVE PROGRAM

[STANZ]

HAW I CAN COPY .MDB FILES e.(ALBUM.MDB) FROM C DISK TO FLOPPY DRIVE DURING RUNING PROGRAM. IF A DATABASE e.(ALBUM.MDB) IS IN USE, YOU CAN'T USE 'COPY' COMMAND. DO YOU KNOW ANOTHER WAY. THANKS!

Maybe I did not understand your question, Sorry if so. I do copy using explorer without any problem.

MY VB PROGRAM HAS BACKUP OPTIONS - TO COPY e.g. ALBUM.MDB FILE FROM C DISK TO FLOPPY DISK DURING RUNTIME. COPY COMMAND DO NOT WORK.

How are you using the database? If you are using a data control then make sure the "Exclusive" property for the datacontrol is
set to false. Hope this helps...
