Did your hostname change? There are some things with VB-anything that will try and open the file on the hostname, regardless if you specifically told it "c:\DatabaseStuff\Databasefile.db3". IIRC, at least with MS-SQL, it may try to open it as "\\hostname\.\c$\DatabaseStuff\Databasefile.db3" or something to that effect.
