Need help ascertaining why after changing folder names (shortened) that I am consistantly am getting an error message when opening the database(s) that are linked. The message: "Microsoft Access cannot change working directory to... (gives old path folder names). Verify that the drive is valid and the path is 260 characters or less in length". I deleted the old links and re-linked the tables manually and by Link Manager but I am still getting message. Any suggests whats causing this?
