Changed systems 2/3 Working
I am not an Access Professional, and I inherited a system that was on a PC that is no longer viable. I built the new PC and named it exactly the same as the old one to mitigate any conflicts, and it is half working. We have a large database and 3 associated programs that add data and export data from that database. The 2 programs for adding data are working flawlessly with no issues. The program for exporting data is giving me error 3044 that there is no valid path, when I upload an Excel file to it to output a different Excel file.
I do not understand how the path can be valid for the 2 programs for inputting data are working, but not the program for exporting data, when it's the same path to the same database.
All I did was copy and paste the existing database and all its files into the same file location on the same named PC.
Any Assistance is appreciated. The database is on a Windows 11 PC.

I am assuming you are running an ACCDB, not an ACCDE.
If so, hit Ctrl+Break and the debugger will open. Inspect the variables, especially the path. One way to do that is to hit Ctrl+G to go to the Immediate Window, and type:
?myVariableName
When you hit Enter, it will print the value, something like this:
c:\nonexistingfolder\
