Access 2010 - Show path and filename in Access

Nov 10 '14, 07:43 PM

Hallo,

another question about Access 2010.

in earlier version it was possible to show the path and filename of the access database on top of the access frontend, but it seems to be, that this feature has retired. Is there an easy way to show path and filename or do I have to use vb code therefore?

Thanks for your answers!

You can hard code a name for your Database under Options | Database Options, then fill in the Application Title with whatever you want.

But I'm pretty sure you are looking for Access to put the current Path and Database name in there for you. I don't think this option is available without resorting to VBA.

In VBA, this code should do what you want:

Code:

CurrentDB.Properties("AppTitle").Value = Application.CurrentProject.FullName Application.RefreshTitleBar
