Office IT Pro General Discussions Forum: Access 2010 and default database folder

Access 2010 and default database folder

We are running Office 2010 Professional Plus 32bit on Win 7 Enterprise.

We have a GPO to set the "Default Database Folder" to %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%. When I go to File>New>Create, I receive the error, "%HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH%\Database1.accdb" isn't accessible. the folder may bylocated in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or\. However, when I click on the "Browse" button next to the path, it will take me right to my homeshare\homepath location. The location is a network folder that is used for my home directory, and has all the correct permissions necessary for accessing the share.

Is anyone else having issues using environmental variables for the default database path?
