Note that Access also stores the full path in the Description property of the tabled.

CurrentDb.Tabledefs("tblLinked").Properties("Description")

The full string is preceded by "DATABASE=", so if you want just the full path, use Mid( … , 10)

Kevin,

This depends on if the tables are Access or some other source. For Access you can use:

     Mid(Currentdb.TableDefs("tblFactories").Connect,11)

This will get the full path and file name. You can use Len(), Left(), and other string function if all you want is the folder.

Regards,

Duane
