[AccessD] ADProject: Getting Database Name

Hi Gustav - 

Perfect - As I have said many times - legend

I did modify it a bit - I am assuming there already is a connection
So Now I have 2 functions - 
1 to get the Current DB name and the other to get the server name - See below

Many thanks

Darren

Function f_GetServerName() As String

Dim strConnect As String

Dim strServer As String

strConnect = Application.CurrentProject.Connection

strKey = "SOURCE="
strSearch = Mid(strConnect, InStr(1, strConnect, strKey, vbTextCompare) +
Len(strKey))
strServer = Mid(strSearch, 1, InStr(1, strSearch, ";") - 1)

f_ GetServerName = strServer

    rs.Open selSQL, con, 1, 3
    
    f_dBName = rs!CurrentDb

Hi Darren

Would it be something like this:

strConnect =
"DATABASE=something;SERVER=192.168.1.100;PASSWORD=;PORT=3306;OPTION=3;STMT=;"
strKey = "SERVER="
strSearch = Mid(strConnect, InStr(1, strConnect, strKey, vbTextCompare) +
Len(strKey))
strServer = Mid(strSearch, 1, InStr(1, strSearch, ";") - 1)

Hi All

 

Cross posted to AccessD and dba_SQL Server

 

I want to get the Server name (Data Source) from code - I can get the dB name

 

Now I want just the server name as well - Not all the other stuff that comes
with the .Connection property

 

Can anyone assist?

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Darren
