Copy database fails because of invalid object name in a view?

I'm getting the below error when attempting to copy a database. The view works just fine but the package keeps giving me the below error:

Just out of curiosity, is applicant in a different schema than "app"?|||Same schema|||Maybe it is trying to copy the view before the applicant table?|||

Ooooo, I like that thought!|||That's not good. Anyone tried this before?|||Should I assume that this will not work and manually copy databases?|||

What task are you using?

Also, isn't there a better method of "copying" databases? (That is, a backup/restore process.) Are you going for just the schema, or data as well?|||

If you feel like wading through it, you could check your sys.sql_dependencies view to see if it has the dependency between the view and the table. Not sure if that is used to determine the order when db objects are copied, but it might be worth a shot.

I'm using the copy database task. If I do a backup and restore then I manually must reset the logins, correct. I was hoping that a simple copy database would take care of this.

thanks.
