I tried using the extended file property function and was not able to get the internal database name. I was however successful in getting it to return when I used the example you provided. The trouble I think I was having is the difference between the hyphen and the quotation marks. I can see this as being a very useful tool and I am very thankful for your help. I will have to get a handle on the differences between them and master it. The database application that we are using has hard coded calls to a unique database name. The database cannot be cleared and as a result not very portable. The KixForm script I am developing will allow the end user to toggle between databases before launching the application. The toggle will automatically rename the file the same as the internal database name and display the same in a ListBox to allow them to select which database they want to use.
