Replace error message 8055 working directory

[kdvorkin]

Is there any way to replace error message 8055 "Microsoft access can't change the working directory to ..." with a custom error message when opening a database?

I want to let users know in firendlier words that this error message means they don't have a working connection to a required shared drive.

I know where to change the default database folder in the options, but would rather modify the error message.

Perhaps this article will give you some pointers.

They can try but I doubt it will help as it is not an Access DATABASE problem but it is the Access Application itself. It occurs when the application opens and before the database is opened. We had a similar issue here and we had to have our Citrix admins actually map My Docments to our home drive.
