As a full member now, you should know that we expect your code to be posted in [code] tags (See How to Ask a Question).
This makes it easier for our Experts to read and understand it. Failing to do so creates extra work for the moderators, thus wasting resources, otherwise available to answer the members' questions.
Please use the tags in future.

As to your question, your batch file (C:\Test.Bat) is essentially a list of command line commands. The command must include the correct name. There are no databases called MyDB. They are called MyDB.Mdb. Your batch file must include the extension or it won't work.
Try fixing that and testing it again.
If it still doesn't work, try telling us something about the problem rather than simply that it "isn't wokring".

Hi, there.
Look at VBA function FileCopy.
If you want a comprehensive set of filesystem functions you should take a look at "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" library (Set a reference to the library via Tools>Reference s).
It works when I added the file type thank you " IT IS WORKING " THANK you AGAIN

No problems.
This was a Windows problem really but I have some experience there too so was able to see the problem.
When I say a Windows problem - I mean a problem created by the designers of Windows. They can be real nubtards sometimes. Hiding file extensions was always just a problem waiting to catch people out. Trust me, the number of people that's caught out is too numerous to mention.
The designers were either too far behind the rest of the industry (to whom that was obvious) or simply didn't care. After all, they were not the ones who had to sort out these issues when they came up. Either way - not a proud moment for them.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
