I have a group of tables,querys,forms etc on my C drive and would like to copy them onto a Zip (F) or a 3 1/2 (a) drive. when I do this I get a Screen that says "Windows Explorer" at the top and the following message: "The target can not handle this type of document" What's up?
 
Do you mean you tried to copy the whole database (MDB/MDE file)?

You should be able to idf you try to copy the whole database file.

I don't use Zip drive but I used to copy to floppies often. Of course, you
need to use Back-up if the file is bigger than a floppy can store.

Try zipping the database file first before copying.

Also compact before zipping.
