expression.CodeDb
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
Remarks
For example, you can use the CodeDb method in a module in a library database to create a Database object referring to the library database. You can then open a recordset based on a table in the library database.
Set database = CodeDb
The CodeDb method returns a Database object for which the Name property is the full path and name of the database from which it is called. This method can be useful when you need to manipulate the Data Access Objects in your library database.
When you call a method in a library database, the database from which you have called the method remains the current database, even while code is running in a module in the library database. In order to refer to the Data Access Objects in the library database, you need to know the name of the Database object that represents the library database.
For example, suppose you have a table in a library database that lists error messages. To manipulate data in the table from code, you could use the CodeDb method to determine the name of the Database object that refers to the library database that contains the table.
If the CodeDb method is run from the current database, it returns the name of the current database, which is the same value returned by the CurrentDb method.
