David,
I'm sorry I tried that, but I'm still getting access
denied messages. here is the situation. I have 3 accounts
Q, J, and K. I want to copy Q into either J or K, so I
can later delete the other two. I logged into all of them
so accounts have been created in all 3. Can you please
take me step by step into what to do.

to log on to the account you are copying to once to
create it. Then use the third to copy.
