Location
Applies to
VAccess
Description
Sets or returns the drive, path, and file name of the PSQL file associated with this control.
Remarks
At design time, the
Location
property defaults to the value of Table Location in the DDF definition of the file specified in the
TableName
property.
This property represents the operating system device, path, and file name of the database file associated with the control.
This property may contain a fully qualified path and file name, or a file name only. If it contains file name only, an
Open
method will attempt to open the file in the directory specified by the
DdfPath
property.
For more information on using the Location property, see the
PSQL Programmer's Guide
.
Example
'Close the currently opened file
Customers.Close
'Set the location information
Customers.RefreshLocations = True
Customers.DdfPath = "v:\accounts
"
'When we set the table name location will
'be set to the location
'specified in the ddf file if the
'current location is blank.
'If we want to use a different data file
'we need to explicitly specify it
'but this change will not be recorded in ddf file
'unless we call DdfModifyLocation
Customers.TableName = "customer002
"
Customers.Location = "cust002.dat
"
'Open the file
stat = Customers.Open
