[AccessD] "Can't open the file ..." but it's not there.

Kathryn,

The image control in the Photo Directory report still has a reference to the
D drive location in its Picture property.  You need to change that to the
new location.

Subject: [AccessD] "Can't open the file ..." but it's not there.

I asked about this as a side note to my booklet post but got no takers on
that part. ABCtest.mdb in http://www.altadenabaptist.org/problems/photodir.
Though all my photo paths start with O:\Online\abc\photos, they used to
start with D:\MyFiles\Online\abc\photos. When I open the report that's
currently in the mdb (a few other places as well), it comes up with an error
that "Microsoft Office Access can't open the file
'D:\MyFiles\Online\abc\photos\b\bassettdavid.jpg'." I can't find anyplace
where that D:'MyFiles...etc is referenced anymore, so why does it say that?
If I click ok, it then goes on to make the report and everything else seems
to work. Can anybody find where in the mdb it's referenced so I can change
it?

Thanks,
