In the Tools menu\Options box or window,
If I try to make any changes or even choose a different tab along the top, I
get an error message saying- Can not access directory "F:\All Files:" Which
is the partition the files are stored on but they are few folders below
this.
Using Windows XP Professional + Office 2003. There is only one user that is
an administrator.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Douglas

I don't have a guess, but this isn't a valid drive/folder:

F:\All Files:

Are you sure you see that final colon at the far right?

If it was a typo in the newsgroup post, maybe you should check to see if you
have an "F:\all files" folder.

If you don't have one, create one and see what happens.

IT is a typo. All Files is the name of the F partition and there are folders
in it.

I still don't have an educated guess, but maybe...

Help|Detect and Repair

will help.

And you're sure that the folder "all files" is spelled correctly--no extra
spaces?
