Simple Simple Data Environment Question

[pinkpanther2070]

This is my first time using the Data Environment

All I would like to do is instead of right clicking connection1 and going down to properties, and establishing a connection through there to my database.

I would like to write the code out so that I will be able to use app.path command

My purpose fo doing this is so that no matter where my project is it will never have problems finding the database.

Thanks

Does anyone know how to make a connection in the data environment via code

[pinkpanther2070]

Does anyone even know if this is possible?

It surely is possible,

Run thru the properties of your data connection.
You must find something like 'Connectionstring' or something like that.
in this connectionstring, you will not only find the db path, but also the provider (Jet,ODBC,...).
best way of finding this string thru code is:
msgbox YourConnectionName.Connectionstring

Then replace the path to your db in this string with app.path & "\YourDb"

Hope it's clear enaugh
