[AccessD] CurrentDB in ADP

I have some 97 code which returns the folder the current database is in -

     Dim dbs As DAO.Database, strLoop As Integer

     Set dbs = CurrentDb()
     For strLoop = Len(dbs.Name) - 1 To 1 Step -1
         If Mid$(dbs.Name, strLoop, 1) = "\" Then
             basGetCurrentFolder = Left$(dbs.Name, strLoop - 1)
             Exit For
         End If
     Next

I am upgrading it for an XP ADP.  When it is run the Currentdb call returns 
nothing.

I have made sure that the DAO 3.6 Object library is checked in references 
(as per help).  What is wrong, or is there an easier way to get the current 
folder?  I tried CurDir but this is not what I want.
