My databases were just relocated to a new server. Now I get the following message each time I open one:

Microsoft Access can't change the working directy to 'G:\Data\....' Verify that the drive is valid and the path is 260 characters or less in length.

Everything else seems to work fine. What is the working directory and how do I update/verify it.

Thanks!

Have you checked for "Linked" tables? Go to Tools/Database Utilities/Linked Tables... see if these are pointing to the right drive...
 
Have a look at the Default Database Folder under Options-->General.

Change this to an EXISTING folder - I am presuming that the G:\Data\... does not exist.
