SQLite revOpenDatabase() and Relative File Paths

[Jan Schenkel]

Hi Kay,

Untested, but does it work if you put a period before the relative path?
   get revOpenDatabase("sqlite","./Folder Name/mySQLite.db",,,)
Otherwise the operating system may think you're trying to open a dataabse on a volume called 'Folder Name'

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.

 This works
 
 put the defaultFolder & "/Folder Name/mySQLite.db" into
 tPath
 get revOpenDatabase("sqlite",tPath,,,)
 
 But this doesn't
 
 get revOpenDatabase("sqlite","/Folder Name/mySQLite.db",,,)
 
 I thought the point of the defaultFolder was so you didn't
 have to
 continually build full file paths but could use relative
 file paths when LC
 needed a path.
 
 What am I doing wrong?
