i'm not a computer toucher by trade but i'm the most tech-literate person who works there so it's me who ends up fixing things

today's play: microsoft access suddenly forgets how to do something

bios: hello access, please import this file and add it to the database

access: i don't see a file

bios: it's in the \imports\incoming\ folder, just like it always is

access: i don't see anything. i don't think that's a real folder

bios: you imported stuff from there last week

access: i know lol

bios: can you see \imports\archive\?

access: yup

bios: and everything else in the database is still there?

access: of course

bios: so how about importing the file?

access: there is no file and the folder doesn't exist lol

bios opens the vba and changes $dbpath & "\imports\incoming\" to [the entire filepath]

bios: can you see the file now

access: oh yes, there it is i see it!

bios: please import the file

access: the file doesn't exist and that path doesn't exist though

bios: you are a gently caress

access: yup lol
