Give folder specific name

[Ethvia]

Not exactly an Access question, but hoping for some help.

I have deployed a database at my wife's work and need to do some testing at home. The problem is the database (back end) sits on a server with a specific path name. I want to be able to recreate that path name at home on a local drive so I can do some changes, test them and know they will work.

Is it possible to setup a folder on my local drive so it will have the same path name as what she has at work?

The path at work is "\\kisd-3020s\JH CM Check-In\" Is it possible to make a path at home so I can mimic how it will act at her work?

thanks for any suggestions

You would have to create a partition on your hard drive, or if you have a usb drive you can add, you can use that. I tried it once on my c drive and decided it was too much work. Decided remote access would be better if they wanted me to work at home - which they didn't.

I'm doing this for free, the school is 40 miles away and they don't have remote access 8-(

I have a spare USB drive I can dedicate to doing this...do you have a link that would walk me through giving the USB drive that name I listed instead of a drive letter?

I managed to find another 'solution'. If I name my computer the same name as the school server then it works fine. It might not be the most elegant solution, but it works!

It's good that you were able to achieve a solution. If you need the other for some reason, just Google something like 'create hard drive partition' - I don't have a link per se.
