| I copied my Access database and all supporting files to a portable thumb
| drive so I could take it on the road with me. I try to run the database
from
| the portable drive and I get the following error: C:\Documents and
| Settings\<username>\Desktop\504Excel.xls' is not a valid path. Make sure
| that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the
| server on which the file resides. The associated excel file is on the
| portable drive as well
| How do I change the path so it points to the excel file that is associaed
| with it.
