Copying an open file

I have a development front-end that I wish to make a backup of every time I close the home screen.  However, as it is open it won't allow me to copy it.  Any ideas?

PS - It doesn't need to be pretty, as it's just for me.

You need to write a function that opens another access application and this copies your front end...The other application will operate under timer and file operation and close after the job is completed...
