    Problem with opening the database

    I have created a database in version 2003 and 2007. All the users were able to opened either one of them in their PC but there is one user who could not open the file and access keep saying that it can't change the working directory...




    Please see the attachment of the problem...
    I have labeled the problems according to what comes first in my screen.. i.e Prob 1, prob 2, prob 3, prob 4 (where it shows blank screen)


    PLEASE HELP! I can't seem to find a solution

    Is this a split design database? Does this one user have the correct drive mapping? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the second two error messages.

    what do you mean by correct drive mapping ?

    I don't know.. I sent the database to the users via email in a zipped folder and what they all did was to save it on to the desktop and extract the files and test it out.
    Maybe if I give the database via USB drive it will work?

    If it isn't split then Windows drive mapping is not the issue. The only other thing I can think of is they saved it to a folder they don't have write permission for. If everyone else can use the file without errors then must be an issue with that one user profile. Talk to IT staff.
