MsAccess Can't Change Working Dire3ctory

J

JamesJ

After moving my db to a folder under My Documents (which ms windoiws
developers seem to want us all to do)
I get the following error message when I try to open the db:

'Microsoft Access can't change the working directory to
"c:\myolddbfoldername."'

'Verify that the drive is valid and the path is 260 characters or less in
length.'

I moved the db into my root directory and got the same error message so the
path isn't too long.

Any ideas???

Thanks,
