I am trying to have my Access db application make a copy of the application file with a time stamp added to the file name. The problem is that the application that I am trying to copy with filecopy, is the application that is running. Is there any way that I could make a copy of an application file when that app. is running?
Thank you,

Do you mean make a copy of the database (.db) file or of some .exe file?

The db file should be simply a matter of using SaveAS
