I am having a problem using the SQL Server 2000's Copy Database Wizard. After entering the source instance and the target instance I hit next and I get the following error message:

Error Code: 5510
Error Category: 5500
Source: Microsoft SQL-DMO
Description: [SQL-DMO]the name 'DATABASENAME' was not found in the Databases collection. If the name is qualified name, use [] to seperate various parts of the name, and try again

1) I have checked the databases and the DB quoted does exist ?
2) I cant understand why it errors before prompting the next screens which ask for the databases and the objects related to them ?
3) Is there an alternative to copy every object on one server to another server to prepare the other server for a resiliant partner using log-shipping ?
4) Where can I get a list of all SQL-DMO error codes ?
5) Where can I get a detail explaination of this error code with context to the DB it refers to - i.e. can i interrogate some event viewer or log file ?

Check 2 things,

1. Verify the collation of both Servers & Databases are same are not?
2. Check both servers have same Service packs.

does the databasename actually contain a space? like 'db name'?
if yes, enclose it in [] as suggested
