"File.Copy" by design does not allow a file that is currently open to be copied.
It appears that you are trying to create a copy of an Access database file that is currently open
and in use.

If using VB2005, you might look at My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile method which, I believe, will not
error on copying open files.

I am using vb.net 2003 and i am not able to use the file.copy
(source,destination) to copy my access file that is not opened to
another location on my hard disk
