Disk path from alias name?

Is there a way to get the physical disk path of a Microsoft Access database
through an ODBC alias? I'm using Session.GetAliasNames to populate a list
of alias names I'm working with. If possible, I need to be able to get the
file name and path of the .mdb file the alias points to. Thanks.

There is no 'PATH' setting returned. Thanks anyway.

Re:Disk path from alias name?

You have to work with Windows Registry. Read the value of
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFWARE\OBC\ODBC.INI\<DSNNAME>\DBQ
