    "Microsoft Access cannot change the working directory to \\psf\home\Documents\Access Databases"

    I have Access 2013, Windows 10, on a MAC with Parallels.



    I changed the directory where my Access files are stored. Then started receiving the message in the Title above. I clicked OK, but did not know what to do about the message. Now Access and Windows 10 takes a full minute or more to do anything. It just spins the little donut until I "force quit".

    I found directions to correct the working directory problem (today) but they are for Access 2010. Step 2 in the process says Click the "File" menu followed by "Options". When I click "File" I do not see the word "Options" anywhere.

    Sorry I don't seem to be able to even describe the problem very well.

    The Options choice should be at the bottom of File pane just above Exit. If it isn't there possibly the Access install is corrupt.
