Syntax

object.BrowseSnapshotFolder(
[ szSubscriberName ] ,
[ szSubscriberDB ] ) as String

Parts

object

Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

SzSubscriberName

String that specifies the Subscriber name

szSubscriberDB

String that specifies the name of the subscription database at the Subscriber.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT BrowseSnapshotFolder(
SQLDMO_LPBSTR pszSnapshotFolder,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szSubscriberName,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szSubscriberDB);

Note  SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.

Remarks

BrowseSnapshotFolder is useful for determining the directory where snapshot files are generated. If the AltSnapshotFolder property is set, BrowseSnapshotFolder returns the folder location.

Optionally, use the SzSubscriberName and szSubscriberDB parameters to locate snapshot files generated for a particular subscription. If SzSubscriberName and szSubscriberDB are not specified, BrowseSnapshotFolder returns the location of the last snapshot folder used.

Note  If an application calls BrowseSnapshotFolder on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000" are returned.
