>>Probably it will help. It looks like you either hard-coded 'D' in some place, or you have problem with DataEnvironment. Open some form where you use DE and check Database property. It can include D, if you use 'project' data located on this drive. To avoid this problem you can change all these properties manually, but the better way is to write common method which will reset Database properties in BeforeOpenTables events.

I am sorry. I didn't notice that this is 2.6.
