All I want to do is to be able to open an Access database that is on drive J
at work, I have copied the application and table files but don't have a drive
J at home where I need work with the data. The application oppens and then
says 'J\name is no a valid path' How do I fix this. I have XP proffesional at
home and windows 2000 on a novell network at work.
 
i'm assuming you just need a similar directory structure as at work, and have
all the files you need.
start->run, type cmd, press enter
do something similar to this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Kevin>cd \

C:\>mkdir drivej

C:\>subst j: c:\drivej

C:\>
type exit to close that window

you should now have a hard disk drive j in my computer that is really
c:\drivej
to remove it open a command window and type
subst j: /d
