I have ajobs database that tracks and logs all jobs. A database called 'backup' has been created which backups all the neccessary data.

Now, when i save a form on the jobs database a runtime error '3044' appears saying "r:\job\backup.mdb isnt a valid path. Make sure th path is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides"

When i click the DEBUG button on this error the following code is highlighted:

DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, _
"Microsoft Access", _
"R:\job\backup.MDB", _
acTable, _

I have checked the serer names, filenames etc... but it makes not difference! Also, i dont know if this helps, but this error has on recently appeared (few days before new years!)

Can anyone help me please?!!?!?!?!

thanks
 
From your desktop can you open the backup database without error ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hey,

Yes, i tried putting both the databses on my desktop and change the code to the new location for the backup and for some reason, exactly the same error comes up! (with exception for a different path, which now referes to the desktop location).

The backup database works perfectly... alone, but for some reason the jobs database does'nt like it anymore!

what really confuses me is that the databses havenet been modified or anything before the error bagan appearing, could have maybe been caused by some date function?

Thanks
 
Sorry, i missed out the last line of the error, the code is:

DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, _
"Microsoft Access", _
"R:\HCP Finance Jobs Database\BACKUP.MDB", _
acTable, _
"TblJobList", _
"Backup_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(time, "hhmmss")
