I do it all the time. So there must be something else....
What >exactly< does the error message say?
1. Does your database have all its tables internal, or do you have external
links to other data sources?
2. Since you have user-level security, you are probably using a shortcut to
open the database and the workgroup file. Be sure to review the CmdLine in
the shortcut to confirm that it:
a) references MSACCESS.exe on the local disk
b) references the proper mdb
c) references the proper mdw
3. When you attempt to use your backup copy, then you need a different
shortcut that points to the backup copies.
Good Luck,

I tried, however if the server goes down and i try running that backup,
it says that it needs the server to access the file. i need the copy so
that we can access the info when the server is down or for working on
it at home.

You can just use the regular "copy" feature in windows, or a DOS batch

You should copy the "mdb" file and the "mdw" file.
