access thread: Application Path


Message #1 by "Maha Arupputhan Pappan" <mahap@p...> on Thu, 17 Jan 2002 04:34:46
Hi Contributors,



I need your assistance.



I need to get application path programmatically. At present I am doing 

this:



strDB = "myDatabase"

strDBPath = "C:\myDBPath\"

AppPath = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACCESS.EXE "

strCmd = AppPath & strDBPath & strDB

RetVal = Shell(strCmd, 1)



The application path (AppPath) that I need to get programmatically.



Thanks,

Maha

Hi John,



I tried that but it gives me strDBPath (c:\myDBpath\). I need to get the 

MSACCESS program path itself (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\) 

and that is AppPath variable.



The filename MSACCESS.EXE is optional. This is always the same in MS 

OFFICE.



Thanks,

Maha.
