Re: Find the full path of a file

Will it always be in the users temp folder? If so, I believe there is code
to find the location of the users temp folder in the API section at
www.mvps.org/access

Alternatively, if the folder is relative to the folder where the Access app
is installed, you can get that folder with CurrentProject.Path. For example,
I have a Help folder which is a subfolder of the folder where one of my apps
is installed, I can refer to it in code as ...

CurrentProject.Path & "\Help"
