Couldn't use <name>; file already in use. (Error 3045)

MLH
The specified file is currently being used by another user or session.
Wait for the other user or session to finish working with the file,
and then try the operation again.

So, I've got db1.mdb open, yeah. I select a report in database
window, yeah, press ctrl-C, then change to another application
window on same machine, running Access 97 with Other.mdb
open and the Reports Tab selected it's database window...

I press ctrl-V and get this error. Why? The object in the source
database was not open. Only thing open was the source data-
base itself.

I don't do this habitually. But I swear I can remember having done
it in the past w/o issues. Ideas? File, Import did NOT present any
problem - no error. Just wondering.

Why don't you use File/GetExernalData/Import?

I did. I mentioned that in the O.P. But, you know, I was just
curious. I experimented immediately thereafter, using ctrl-C
and ctrl-V in the other direction - copying and pasting a different
report object from Other.mdb to db1.mdb and it worked without
a hitch. And my curiousity was aroused as to why it wouldn't go
the other direction.

Dunno, but perhaps worthy of mention is the ACTUAL text of the
error MsgBox that Access displayed was:

Couldn't use 'C:\DB\db1.mdb' : file already in use.

I'm getting the error: "Cannot implicitly convert type 'MovesDBMigrate.MotionNameElementTypes' to 'int'" for this line of code: m_nameElementTableNames = "Tbl_NameCharacters"; Of course if I cast int to it, then it compiles, but if I have declared the enum's type as int, why do I need to cast int to the value?
