Ever needed to move the edconn8.mdb file, perhaps because you are migrating to a new file server? I found no method to do this via the software's terrible UI, and the software will not even start if it cannot find the database file. It'll throw an error like "A database error has occured. Description: Could not find file '\\server\path\EDconn8.mdb'. in DAO.Workspace." followed by "System error: Unable to open database"
Using Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\The Department of Education\EDconnect\8.x and change the REG_SZ value Database. The value of the key should be the full path, including the file name. I assume you would do the same thing in a 32-bit environment, minus WOW6432Node in the registry path.
You may also need to remap the locations for Send and Receive. Do this in the software under New > Security View > User Properties (right-click a user) > Directories.
