Please, read my comment to the question first!

If you want to copy ms access database file from one location into another, please use File.Copy()[^] method.

If you would like to copy data between existing databases, you need to connect to destination database (for example: C:\DMT.net\mdb\Edata2.mdb) and use sql command like that:

SQL

INSERT INTO DestinationTableName (Field1, Field2, Field3,..., FieldN)
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3,..., FieldN
FROM SourceTableName IN 'C:\DMT.net\mdb\Edata1.mdb'

Note: In a destination database destination table must exists!

For further information, please see:
IN Clause - MS Access[^]
Accessing external data using the IN clause[^]

But if you would like to copy data into new (empty) database, you need to:

create it first[^]
copy data as is shown above using make table query[^]
