access thread: Re: GetCurrentDB function


Message #1 by "Mavin Specimen" <mspecimen@h...> on Mon, 24 Sep 2001 19:29:25
Hi I am trying to convert an Access mdb to an Access Project. In on of the modules is a function to get
the name of the current db. I am confused on how to convert this so it can be used in a Project; of course the back end is MS SQL.
Here is the code for the function:



'Public Function GetCurrentDB() As DAO.Database



On Error Resume Next

    'Returns reference to current database, even if variables are reset

    Static db As DAO.Database

On Error Resume Next 

    strName = db.Name

    If Err.Number <> 0 Then

    Set db = CurrentDb()

    'End If

    Set GetCurrentDB = db Function



End Function



Thoughts/Comments. 



Thanks

You may not need a function at all--CurrentProject.Name returns the filename

of the current project.  Maybe that will get you what you need?
