File copy for daily backups

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I am new to scripting and wondered if anyone could give me some clues to how
to achieve a task?

I have a folder which contains two files, both access .mdb files. I would
like to check to see if the files are in use, and if they are not, then copy
them to a specified archive folder. If they are in use, I would like to bring
a dialog box up saying so, asking the user to shut down the main database
before trying again.

Any help you could give would be gratefully received.

Many thanks
.
