I've rewritten the database and the directory created now has the proper name. Thanks! I'm also supposed to create a shortcut on the desktop to that directory, and the name of the shortcut should be the same as the name of the directory. I've now run into the same problem I think: the name cannot be set because of formatting. I'm trying to rewrite this table as well, but I get error 'ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED'. Any clues what to do?
