Job object
This method returns a string from the current Transfer job.
If the method is called before the job is started, the string from the box on the tab of the dialog is returned. If the method is called after the job is started, the returned string is a full path with an expanded file extension.
The difference between this method and GetTransFileName is that this one returns the expanded file name regardless of the transfer method, whereas GetTransFileName returns the expanded name only when you are transferring forms .
Suggested use: If you were to create your own file management routines, you could place this function on the FormTransferRecord event, to manipulate the transfer buffer and then write the file from code.
Function OnFormTransferRecord(FormTransBuffer As String, FormTransBufferSize As Long) As Long
Dim objJob As Object
Set objJob = Application.Job
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = objJob.GetExpandedTransFileName
Dim strNewBuffer As String
'Get the first 10 characters of the Transfer buffer
strNewBuffer = Left(FormTransBuffer, 10)
Open strFileName For Output As #1
Print #1, strNewBuffer
Close #1
OnFormTransferRecord = EV_OK_ABORT ' Return value to FORMS
End Function
