Access DB path

Hi all!

Does anybody knows how can I retrieve the current access DB path in VB.
I am trying to solve a problem : the Dbase when moved into another folder will retrieve it new location.

Thanks!

I can not uderstand why yest dhe curdir() was returning the corect path, and today it is returning c:\doc&set\......

WHY???

RE: Access DB path

Ahh, CurDir will return the active Windows directory, not the file's path. If you are using Access VBA, you can use CurrentProject.Path to return the path of the active database.
