Exclusively opened database problems

I have a VB6 project that connects to a Access database. I get a run time error when I try to copy the database as a backup - "You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively..."

The problem is that I need to be able to copy this database while it is still open. How do I work around this?


Thanks Steven

One way is to close any open connections to the db and once your code is disconnected you can use filesystem code to copy the db.

So Doug, is there another way?
It's not very practical for me to close the connections. However I cannot seem to find any other way except for creating a new database and copying tables and data to it.

Thanks Steven

Take a look around www.mvps.org, there is a ton of excellent code in the access section.
