How to change the "Default database folder"

Dear reader,

Under | Tools | Options | the form Options will open.
Under the tab [General] you find the field "Default database folder".
By opening the form this field shows on my pc I:\.
I can't close the form because then the message pups up
"MS Office Access can't change the work directory to I:\ "

If I change it to D:\ I can close the form but by opening the form
again the field is still showing I:\.

What's happens here?
Thanks for any help.
Kind regards,
Simon

You could locate the registry subkey
"HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Mi crosoft\Office\ 11.0\Access\Set tings"
( for AXP change "11.0" to "10.0")

and check the value for "Default Database Directory".

If it's emtpy (or contains a wrong value ) right click it --Change --and
enter a value ( D:\ )

Regards
Jens

I have non-computer skilled users entering data into a form. There are certain ranges of values which, if they enter them, make no sense in the application, but I can't test them until they try to close out the form, in which case I can look at the entire set of values and see if they're OK. So, I have this code. for the "Before Update" event: if (their variables are inappropriate) then msgbox "You've entered bad variables (or some...

I have an ASP.NET based site, and the main application is stored under a virtual directory called "Main". So in order to view my site, a browser would have to visit www.mydomain.com/Main/. But if a browser just visits www.mydomain.com, he will NOT see my site (since all the content is under the Main subdirectory). Currently, I use a simple ASP redirect script in the root directory that will redirect the user to the Main subdirectory. But...

I created an MSI install for a Windows app I wrote. When installing, however, it defaults to install for "Just Me" instead of "Eveveryone" (meaning anyone who uses this computer). I would like the default deslection to be the latter. How can I change this, please? Thanks! Ron

I was having this problem: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.server/msg/e36e423972323378?dmode=source with it taking an inordinate amount of time to enumerate the databases on my local SQL Server instance, so I went through all the local databases and unchecked "Auto Close" on the "Options" tab of the Database properties in Enterprise Manager.

Is there some way to change the default location for new websites in Visual Studio 2008. It seems one can change the "Visual Studio projects location", the "Visual Studio user project templates location", the "Visual Studio user item templates location", and these all are configured from "Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / General". None of these settings though seems to influence the default "New Website" location. So can I...
