[AccessD] Path name/length

The foldernames you give are different for the implied CDir in Access and 
the actual file location
Could be the 'Start' icon you are using is a shortcut - if so, check it's 
properties, and adjust as appropriate

Then, when Access is loaded go to File Options and check through that - 
starting with
General
Default Database Folder

Subject: [AccessD] Path name/length


Every time I open Access (2010), I get this message:

MS Access can't change the working directory to
c:\users\Kathryn2012\documents\Access\!Kathryn
Verify that the drive is valid and the path is 260 characters or less in
length

My databases are in
C:\Users\Kathryn2012\Documents\Dropbox\KRB-Docs\Access\!Kathryn

If I just click ok, Access opens the way it should and there is no problem,
but why is it giving me this message in the first place? Why is it *trying*
to change the directory?
