I accidently messed up my database, but luckily I have a
BAK file, which when I open it brings back the all my
origninal work.

Can some one please tell me how I can save the entire
database once I bring it up from the BAK file?

Thank you so much for any help.

Just use Explorer to rename it from .BAK to .MDB.

Taking a stab here that you 'messed up the database' by running the security
wizard. It creates a backup of your original database. So in your folder
you have somename.mdb and somename.bak. When you try to rename the bak
file, it says it can't because you already have a file with that name.

Rename somename.mdb to somename1.mdb and then rename somename.bak to
somename.mdb
