How display name of back-end file on main form of front end file

Yes.

  CurrentDB().TableDefs("<table name>").Connect

Will give you the connection string for a table.  Pick any table that is in that BE, get the connect string, then look for DATABASE=

What's after that is the path to the BE database.

Thanks.  I have the file path and name displaying on the Main Form of the front-end.  But if I manually re-link the tables to a different B/E file the name doesn't refresh itself until I close and re-open the database.

How are you manually re-linking?

 Depending on how, it's either that you'll need to refresh the tableDefs collection or the control that is displaying the value.

  But you certainly don't need to close and re-open the app.

I have this code in the oncurrent event of the form.

Dim MyConnectString As String
Dim MyFullPath As String

    MyConnectString = CurrentDb().TableDefs("Member Table").Connect
    MyFullPath = Right(MyConnectString, Len(MyConnectString) - Len("Database;"))

    Me.txtCurrentBEfile = "Current B/E File: " & MyFullPath

Select allOpen in new window

But when I:

External Data > Linked Table Manager > to link to a different backend, the field, Me.txtCurrentBEfile , is not "refreshed" and still shows the last B/E file

Thanks Jim!  I used the form timer method.  Works perfectly.
