Well, I have an old desktop where I put my MS data files on Drive F. And I have newly bought a notebook where MS data files are copied and stored in Drive C.
I installed MS into my notebook and tried to open layouts that used in my desktop, but failed. This is obvious as the layouts refer to Dive F which doesn't exist in the notebook.
My question is: Can I amend the "path" of the layout that is referring to so that I can skip the really time consuming procedure to re-develop all the layouts again?
Regards,
Sa

You didn't mention which OS you have. One thing Windows can do is to make your computer think it has an F drive. There is a SUBST command which associates a path with a drive letter. For example you can do:
subst f: c: emp
This will create an F drive and it will be pointing to your C drives temp directory. It is kind of cheesy but should get you back in business until a more permanent solution can be found. It works on machines up to XP & Vista. Vista also has mklink.

vaughn,
The OSs of desktop and notebook are XP and Vista respectively. Where do I need to amend the path?
Thanks for your help!

Gary,
You may create a batch file containing the command "subst f: c:\" and put it into the startup folder.
