Get Linked Tables file path ***RESOLVED

Access may have linked tables.

I want to determine what the linked tables address or file path is from my VB application. Any idea how I could get this?

if your using DAO then the TableDef object has two important properties.

Connect: is the path to whatever file your mdb is linked to usally it looks like this ";Database =C:\Folder\Filename.mdb".

SourceTableName: this is table name within the linked database.

I am using the OpenRecordset on a opened database:

Code:

---

    Dim dbMyDB As Database
    Dim rsMyRS As Recordset

    Set dbMyDB = OpenDatabase(frmEOIFINDERMAIN.txtReportsManager)
    Set rsMyRS = dbMyDB.OpenRecordset("Directories", dbOpenDynaset)

---

Could you give me an example of how to us DAO to get what I need? Thanks frigginjerk

Code:

---

    Dim dbMyDB As Database
    Dim rsMyRS As Recordset
    Dim tbdef As TableDef

        Set dbMyDB = OpenDatabase(frmEOIFINDERMAIN.txtReportsManager)
        Set rsMyRS = dbMyDB.OpenRecordset("Directories", dbOpenDynaset)
        Set tbdef = dbMyDB.TableDefs("BrokerCash")

        LinkedTableString = tbdef.Connect
        LinkedTableString = Mid(LinkedTableString, 11, Len(LinkedTableString))
        frmEOIFINDERMAIN.txtLinkedTable.Text = LinkedTableString

---

This works grat for me. I us the Mid function to trim out the ";DATABASE=" character from the string
