Manipulating tables from different database

I am using DAO in DB1 to copy certain parts of a table (TABLE1) from
DB2 into another table in DB1. This works fine but now I would like to
make a copy of TABLE1 in DB2 called TABLEBACKUP and then delete
TABLE1. I need to be able to manipulate the tables in DB2 from
controls and visual basic code in DB1. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Open DB2 as a separate Database instance in DB1:

Dim db2 As DAO.Database
Set db2 = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("DB2.mdb")
