[AccessD] AppTitle Property

Should one have this instead?

    ' Attempt to set the specified property.
    On Error GoTo Err_Property
    dbsTemp.Properties(strName) = varSetting
    Set dbsTemp.Properties(strName) = varSetting
    On Error GoTo 0

I doubt with error handling like this, that it could hurt...

Or are the properties *never* required to be "SET"?

"SetPropterty" - It's a UDF. Here is the code...

Private Sub SetProperty(dbsTemp As Database, strName As String, conType As
DataTypeEnum, varSetting As Variant) ' Parameters:
'	dbsTemp - an initialized Database Object
'	strName - the name of the property
'	conType - the type of the property, e.g. dbBoolean, dbText etc.
'	varSetting - the value to set the property to

    Dim prpNew As Property
    Dim errLoop As Error

    ' Attempt to set the specified property.
    On Error GoTo Err_Property
    dbsTemp.Properties(strName) = varSetting
    On Error GoTo 0

    Exit Sub

Err_Property:

    ' Error 3270 means that the property was not found.
    If DBEngine.Errors(0).Number = 3270 Then
        ' Create property, set its value, and append it to the
        ' Properties collection.
        Set prpNew = dbsTemp.CreateProperty(strName, _
            conType, varSetting)
        dbsTemp.Properties.Append prpNew
        Resume Next
    Else
        ' If different error has occurred, display message.
        For Each errLoop In DBEngine.Errors
            MsgBox "Error number: " & errLoop.Number & vbCr & _
                errLoop.Description
        Next errLoop
        End
    End If

End Sub

Stuart:

What is SetProperties?  Does not compile.  And what should value of
varPropValue be for "AppTitle"

TIA

Generally, database properties in Access do not exist until they are set for
the first time.

Set it either with the Options - Current Database (or whatever it was in
2003

or in VBA with something like:

    Dim db As DAO.Database, prp As DAO.Property
    Set db = CurrentDb
    db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
    SetProperties = True
    Set db = Nothing
