Hello! I would like to use a relative path to read an .mp3 file.
With the absolute path:
Windowsmediaplayer.URL="E:\mes bases\boutique\audio.mp3" it works, but when I copy the boutique directory along with the .mp3 file to another PC, it doesn't work.
I would like to know if there is a relative path to solve this problem.
Thank you

    Hello,
    is the mp3 file in the same directory as the Access database? Well, that's easy!
    by using, for example, 
    CurrentDb.Name
    , or even better, 
    CurrentProject.Path

    But I would like to know how to use "currentDb.Name" or currentProject.path

      Is the mp3 file in the same directory as the Access database?
      Did you understand what 
      currentProject.path
      was? Did you display its value?
      Did you understand the principle of the relative path?

      The .mp3 file is in the same directory as the database.
      I do not know what "currentProject.Path" is.
      I understand the principle of relative paths (the path to reach an object from the current directory).
      Referring to this absolute path: "E:\my databases\shop\audio.mp3". Knowing that my current directory is "shop", what relative path can we take?
      Thank you for helping me further.

      No, I haven't displayed its value. I don't even know how to use this function.
