I wonder if this has anything to do with how your disk is formatted.

NTFS or FAT32 (or even less).

NTFS is way better. You can convert from FAT to NTFS using the convert
command.
This does mean that you can no longer access your disk when booting from
a dos floppy disk.

IIRC, the CurrentProject object was introduced in Acc2k. I don't 
think it exists in Acc97. It would be nice to have a solution for 
non-truncated paths in Acc97. I've looked and never found one.
