I would like to have my log book to a usb stick where everything is stored, including any dive pics.
I have realized that the corresponding table in the access file is getting the file name by referencing to the drive letter when the association when made, eg D:\folder\pic.jpg
The thing is that the usd stick would be d:\ in one computer and e:\ on another. However it has a name which remains constant.
Is there a way to refer in the database to the name of the usb stick and not the drive letter?
Thanks
Referencing a drive by name not a letter
I'm not sure if I can access drives by name (and not by the full path including drive letter) from within the program, but I can take a look. But as reefhound said, I'm planning to make more path options available, such as relative paths.
Another hint: You can change the drive letter of USB sticks in the "Computer Mangement > Disk Mangement" of Windows (connect the USB stick before opening this dialog). And Windows should remember the stick when you connect it the next time. So you can change the letter on both computers to E:\ and the problem should be solved.
