Question : Copy Tables from Runtime Dataset to Empty Dataset (MDB)

Please help.. Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have an application that fills a datagrid based on event calls from the users ( i.e user presses button, application fills empty datagrid with data from specific sql query). My next task is to take the data in that datagrid and copy it out to a MDB file for portability (user can take that MDB file back to office and extract data at will). The final step will be to take a set of SQL tables and copy them all out at once to the MDB. I have an empty MDB in my project and an empty dataset created for it.

When my messagebox pops below I can see the table count has increased, but when I open the MDB the new table is not there??

Code Snippet:

         
             'Early on I have code that fills the datagrid from a shared SQL Class.
'the datatable that is created is a new datatable named Me.dt
'The empty MDB dataset is me.StoreExportDataSet
 
Private Sub btnFillMDB_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFillMDB.Click
 
        For Each tbl As DataTable In Me.dt.DataSet.Tables()
            Me.StoreExportDataSet.Tables.Add(tbl.Copy)
        Next
 
        Me.StoreExportDataSet.AcceptChanges()
        MsgBox("TABLE COUNT: " & Me.XStoreExportDataSet.Tables.Count.ToString)
       
  End Sub
