A user entered a ticket for an OLD Access database and form project that they use daily. They are saying that the database cannot be found when they use it. I haven’t used MS Access to design a database or interface since college so I have no idea where to find the database it’s trying access.

I want to try and locate the DB to see if 1) it exists and 2) is not corrupt

The main interface is done through a *.adp file. Where is the connection string information stored in the file?

Ive opened it in MS Access 2007.

    With an ADP, SQL Server is used for all data storage.

    In the Immediate window (go there with Ctrl+g), inspect the ConnectionString and Provider properties:

    ? CurrentProject.Connection.ConnectionString
? CurrentProject.Connection.Provider
