问题
I need to create copies of the CurrentDB using VBA (approx. 12 copies). The copies need to be clones of the master database containing all the same forms, queries, etc. except only a limited dataset.
DoCmd.CopyDatabaseFile seems to be made for this, but only works if you are using it to copy the DB to an MS SQL Server. As MS states on their website:
Copies the database connected to the current project to a Microsoft SQL Server database file for export.
docmd.TransferDatabase only exports the data itself, but not the structure, forms, etc.
Code I have found on the web and adapted doesn't work and throws an error on the .CopyFile line saying:
Run-time error 52: Bad file name or number
This is the code
Sub CopyDB()
Dim external_db As Object
Dim sDBsource As String
Dim sDBdest As String
sDBsource = "\\group\bsc\groups\L\BDTP\Compliance\ComplianceData\Compliance Group Reporting.accdb"
sDBdest = "\\group\bsc\groups\L\BDTP\Compliance\ComplianceData\Compliance Group Reporting_2.accdb"""
Set external_db = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
external_db.CopyFile sDBsource, sDBdest, True
Set external_db = Nothing
End Sub
How can I fix the above line? Alternatively is there a direct command in Access to create a copy? The "create backup" function would be tailor made for this, but I can not find it in VBA.
回答1:
Looks like you have an extra quote in sDBdest accdb"""
And for database copy you can also use
FileCopy sDBsource, sDBdest
Instead of Scripting object
