I have an application that uses a flash drive to transfer data from a desktop to laptop computers. (We don't do it directly because the laptops are located in vehicles and it's a pain to move the laptops and our WIFI can't reach the vehicles.)

A problem we've experienced is when the flash drive is hooked up to the laptop, the drive letter it assigns varies, sometimes D:, sometimes E:, sometimes F:

Since I have to address the flash drive from within my .accd program, I was wondering if there is an easy way to change drive letters within my MS Access tables mapping?:dunno

Have you tried assigning the flash drive fixed drive letter with Windows? This way it always uses the same drive letter.
