Modifying the path to linked OLE Objects

Sorry if this is a repeat for anybody. I posted this
yesterday and can't seem to find it. I may have
inadvertently posted it in the wrong place.

Using Access 2000, I need to be able to move a group of
photos from a folder to a CD and then update the link in
the OLE object to point to the CD.

I found some code in MS Knowledge Base Article 311147 that
I think will work. However, I'm getting a msg "Cannot
update. Database or object is read-only." I'm using the
code exactly the way the article suggests except I'm not
running it from Northwind - but from my database. Instead
of calling the function from the immediate window, I'm
calling it using a button on an otherwise empty form.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Any help
is appreciated.
 
Hi,
Well usually you have to burn something to a CD.
It's a read only medium.
I don't believe you can simply 'move' files to it.
