title: get custom database properties in vba
body: <p>In ms-access-2016 in the info section of the File menu, there is a link to View and Edit database properties. When the link is clicked a box comes up with 5 tabs, the right-most one is Custom. This tab provides an user interface to add custom properties to the database document.</p>
  
  <p>I tested this by adding a Boolean property named "ask". This worked fine; it saves; it comes back after quitting and restarting. Now I want to access the property in vba. </p>
  
  <p>I have enumerated the database properties with the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Public Sub paEnumerateDatabaseProperties()
      Dim db As DAO.Database
      Dim prp As Property
      Set db = CurrentDb
      For Each prp In db.Properties
          On Error Resume Next
          Debug.Print prp.Name, prp.value, prp.Type
         If Err.Number &lt;&gt; 0 Then Debug.Print "Error: "; Err.Number, prp.Name
      Next prp
      Set prp = Nothing
      Set db = Nothing
  End Sub 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running this code creates a list of 51 of the 52 properties in the db.properties collection and one error for the connections property. But my custom Ask property is not in this collection. It wasn't in the application options collection either. </p>
  
  <p>Anybody have an notion of where it is hiding?
  Thanks</p>
