Unable to Rename Flash Drive

USB Flash Drives All USB Flash Drives

I am using a 16GB SanDisk flash drive to store some Access Files.  I use Access at a local university and on my computer at home.  The Access files that I am working with were originated on the University computer with the name of ‘E:\Core Data from CMS\Linked Files 1995-2010’.  When I tried to open these files in Access on my home computer it labeled the flash drive as Removable Disk F which was not recognized by Access.  When I tried to rename the flash drive, it would not accept the name Removable Disk (E) because it contained too many letters.

Appreciate your help

to change the drive letter you ahve to use disk managment not rename the drive.

that being said it sounds like you have copied the path to a file and not the file itself.
