Try point to "D:", not to "D:\". There was (minor) bug in the TB access code --
when accessing files I did not check if path ends in "\", and I always added "\"
before file name. As a result code tried to access e.g. "D:\\knk.nbw.emd"
instead of "D:\knk.nbw.emd".

That is fixed in recent versions of TB access code, but your program may use old
version.

Thanks,
Eugene
