Application.CloseCurrentDatabase Method
Access Developer Reference |
You can use the CloseCurrentDatabase method to close the current database (either a Microsoft Access database or an Access project (.adp) from another application that has opened a database through Automation.
Syntax
expression.CloseCurrentDatabase
expression A variable that represents an Application object.
Return Value
Nothing
Remarks
For example, you might use this method from Microsoft Excel to close the database currently open in the Microsoft Access window before opening another database.
The CloseCurrentDatabase method is useful when you have opened a Microsoft Access database from another application through Automation. Once you have created an instance of Microsoft Access from another application, you must also create a new database or specify an existing database to open. This database opens in the Microsoft Access window.
If you use the CloseCurrentDatabase method to close the database that is open in the current instance of Microsoft Access, you can then open a different database without having to create another instance of Microsoft Access.
Example
The following example opens a Microsoft Access database from another application through Automation, creates a new form and saves it, then closes the database.
You can enter this code in a Visual Basic module in any application that can act as a COM component. For example, you might run the following code from Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Visual Basic.
When the variable pointing to the Application object goes out of scope, the instance of Microsoft Access that it represents closes as well. Therefore, you should declare this variable at the module level.
