MS Access Forum / Multiuser / Networking / February 2006Exporting to a local path
Hello there, I have small application that I keep on my local machine but is sometimes opened and used from another machine simpley by sharing the .mdb file to another user. I have no needs right now to have a more sofisticated envirorment so I would like to keep things as they are. I have a problem though that I am having an hard time resolving: I am programmatically exporting some access tables/queries from the db to another database on the same machine and let's say for example in the same directory where the sending mdb file resides. This is my routine: DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", _ "G:\Documenti\Access\Online.mdb", acTable, "tblPrenotazioni", _ "tblPrenotazioni" It all works ok as long as I am working an my machine but clearly as I run the same command from a different machine I get an error of object not found. I have tried using an absolute path such as \\COMPUTERNAME\PATH \FILE but does not work. Do you have an idea on how I can reference the file path from 2 different machine? Thanks for your help, Lorenzo Well, the simplest approach is to let the user (who may, it seems, be yourself) choose the destination using the Windows Common Dialog -- freely usable code for that can be found at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm. Otherwise, you are likely to have to rely on no one ever changing the file structure. That would mean, even, remembering not to do so yourself.
