How to Get Photos to Work Again

[doyle60]

I helped a friend build a database that shows photographs. It worked
just fine. Now he is changing computers. He writes:

"I have acquired a new laptop - Sony Vaio with Microsoft Vista. I am
trying to transfer all my files. I have loaded Access 2002 from my old
disk, but I cannot get the databases to run with the pictures. I guess
it's a problem with PhotoPath again. I've tried altering the line to
match the path of the photograph file, but no luck. It seems to get
stuck in accessing NoPhoto.jpg. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Do you
have any experience of the Vista operating system?"

and

"The error message is something like "Error 2220. Cannot find... and
then gives part of the PhotoPath string ending with "NoPhoto.jpg" Even
if I change the string, it still can't find it. Previously it was C:
\Documents and Settings\Edward Wakeling\My Documents\CLD Photos\...
Now, the path seems to be C:\Edward\Documents\CLD Photos\...."

[NoPhoto.jpg is an actual photograph that we use by default when there
is no photograph to display.]

Thanks for your help,

Matt

Hi
in Vista C:\Documents and Settings now stored in C:\Users. So ask him to
locate a photo file, go to it properties and check path, it will be
something like C:\Users\Edward\Documents\CLD Photos\
