Database path
I have a VB application that runs on a client computer and the Access
database for the application is sitting on a server. The system is
networked and I have a map drive to the database on the server which
is a shared file. That mapped drive is coded into the application to
gain access to the database. I am having some problems accessing some
of the reports on the Access database and in my troubleshooting I want
to try to write a message out that would tell me what path it is
accessing when it goes to the database for information. I tried using
App.Path but that only gives me the path of the application on the
client machine. Is there a command or function that could read the
networked database path and tell me what my program is really trying
to access?
Thanks

Database path
If you are communicating with an Access database on a remote
machine, then the path to that database must be in the connection
string. If you look there, you can be certain of which Access file
it is connecting to.
Hope this helps,
Mike
