Hi Guys

Does anyone know if it is possible to find out the path of Access itself from within VBA?
I am writing some code to automatically compact the back end and it creates a BAT file that runs Access but it needs the full path of Access. Different versions will be in different named folders so I want to find out the path automatically when building the BAT file.

Any ideas, please?

Regards

Someone in the office just gave me this:
Application.SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir) & "MSACCESS.EXE"

and it works :eek:)
