This is a known issue in the Native Windows version of ESP-r which
has been corrected and which will be available in the next release
which is scheduled for mid-November.

The work-around is to do the copy command manually with the
operating system e.g. use Windows Explorer to copy the database
file from C:\Esru\esp-r\databases\file_name to the dbs folder
of the model. Then in the 'database management' menu for the
construction file point to the file that you just copied.

Also the interface has altered somewhat from what is included
in the ESP-r Cookbook. The names of the menus are slightly
different and as soon as the next release is out there will be
an effort to update the Cookbook.
