splitting a secured access (2003) database

[buddyr]

Hello,
I have an access database ( access 2003) that has user level security on it.
I am reading a paper that says I don't have to use wizard to split database- that I can manually split database- the first step to the process is create a copy of database.
My database has user level security on it- I can only open it thru a shortcut icon that takes me to password form - that opens database-
How can I copy it?
thank you

Go to the folder with the database and perform a file copy/paste.

You'll need however access to the table definitions as these have to be dropped and a link to the other database needs to be added.

thank you- i just got a shortcut to work- I was unsure because I was looking at shortcut that is made automatically when I used wizard.
I did not know you have to put path to access- path to database- and / wrkgrp and path to security.mdw-
