[mso] Re: Access 2003 SaveAs

Okay... I've built a procedure that seems to work okay and copies the
current DB to a new file.

It depends on the fact that the FileSystemObject will copy a database even
if it's open.
What isn't mentioned anywhere I could find, is that it copies the last saved
state.

So as this is mostly to save VBA versions rather than anything else I hit
the save button in the IDE then run the procedure.

This should keep me going till I can get around to VBAing the pressing of
the save button.

Anyone wants the code can have it.
