Description

The local file system path to the files containing this McDBDatabase.

Property type

A String value.  

Syntax

object.Path([GetPhysicalPath])

The Path Property syntax has these parts:

PartDescription
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type McDBDatabase.
GetPhysicalPathOptional. A Boolean value.

This parameter applies only to Remote (Server is not LOCAL) databases, and determines whether the property value is the physical file path on the server (True) or the logical Name on the server (False/default). On LOCAL databases, this parameter is ignored, and the property is ALWAYS the local physical file path to the database.

Remarks

McDBDatabase instances are identified by a unique logical Name, which is mapped through the local configuration file (McDBLib.Cfg) into an actual filename and Path for the database. This property contains the physical [filesystem path] of the database, for LOCAL databases, or the logical Name on the Remote Server, for Remote databases.

Notes

If this McDBDatabase is not open and served by an IQbase database server, this property's value is the logical Name on the server, regardless of the value of the GetPhysicalPath argument.
