Hi Sinistral

I am now trying to open using this code

$oDatabase = $oAccess->DBEngine->OpenCurrentDatabase($filename);
[download]

It says invalid argument.Do we need to provide other arguments also.

With this code $oDatabase = $oAccess->DBEngine->OpenDatabase($filename);

It opens fine but the custom properties doesnot get added to the file's custom tab in the database properties.
Is there any difference between OpenDatabase and OpenCurrentDatabase.

my $filename = 'C:\Documents and Settings\551970\Desktop\database.accd
+b'; # $ARGV[0];
print $filename."\n";

$oAccess = Win32::OLE->new('Access.Application') or die qq{Couldn't st
+art new Access instance!};

# Open Access File
$oDatabase = $oAccess->DBEngine->OpenDatabase($filename);

 my $new_property = $oDatabase->Containers->Databases->Documents->User
+Defined->CreateProperty("Test1",12,"Test");

  $oDatabase->Containers->Databases->Documents->UserDefined->Propertie
+s->Append($new_property);

foreach (in $oDatabase->Containers->Databases->Documents->UserDefined-
+>Properties)
{
  #print Dumper($_);
print "prop ".$_->Name."\n";
}

undef $oDatabase;
#undef $oAccess;
$oAccess->Quit();

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
