I'm looking for the fully-qualified MPE filename of the root >file that was actually opened. >-- Bruce There are a couple of ways but they require privileged mode: 1. getprivmode; <<root file's file code is -400>> fnumber := fopen (DBname,1,,,,,,,,,,,-400); if fnumber <> 0 then begin fgetinfo (fnumber,MPE'file'name); fclose (fnumber,0,0); end; getusermode; NOTE! There is the danger that someone could issue a file equation: :file XYZDB;DEL and the above code would purge the root file. 2. If you only have ONE database in your process then you could cycle through the list of open files ( 3 >fnum>max'fnum) again in priv mode until you encounter a file with -400 as the file code.
