<DIV>Hi -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I use CurrentDB.Name in code, sometimes it returns using short names,
like this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>C:\DOCUME~1\JULIES~1\MYDOCU~1\DEVELO~1\SomeFile.mdb</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and other times it uses long names, like this:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\JULIE SCHWALM\MY
DOCUMENTS\DEVELOPMENT\SomeFile.mdb</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know why it would vary? (Sometimes re-booting gets it to
switch back to long file names, but not always - and not today!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess more important - does it matter? In code I want to create a
small text file in the same directory where the app is stored. Other code
will go look for this file and read its contents.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm using Access 97 and WinXP for development. Finished product will
be Access97 runtime installed on anything from Win95 and up. TIA for any
insights.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards,</DIV>
