OK - when I have time I am posting this to Mantis. The menu command in Vstudio for "clone a database" needs lots of work. You cannot clone a database without first making a database to copy the clone to. And then you have to make a path to that database and paste it into the window for "clone" operation. This is not how our Vstudio should work!<div>

Maybe I don't know how to clone a database in Vstudio. I notice that all the other file commands require a path request first. The clone database fails with every database I try and always with the same error "file name does not exist".
