Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 9.1 sr1
Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit

I am trying to get the name and path of the origin project I am working with after I started a session using OA_ConnectToOrigin.vi

The property "Name" returns "Origin8.1" which is not even the version of the Origin I am using.
Trying the ProjectInfo item (for which there is zero info on OriginLab's site: http://www.originlab.com/doc/COM/Classes/Application/ProjectInfo), its properties : "Name" and "LongName" return empty strings.
Not sure what to try next...

It's been years since my last time using LabVIEW. Here I suppose you should have had a try of OAGetLTStr,
1) to get the project path, the name should be string "%X";
2) to get the project name, the name should be string "%G";

Actually, according to the doc (http://www.originlab.com/doc/COM/Classes/Application/LTStr), the path is obtained with %Y, but anyway, thanks for the lead.
I wonder whether there are other magic codes to be found (in the LabTalk doc presumably)?

Edit: indeed, they can be found here: http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/guide/String-registers

%Y is "User Files Folder". I'm afraid it's not the very string register you should use. It happens to be correct just because you save the project there. Try to save it in other place and you will see how it works.

You're correct. I must have read the doc with crossed eyes...

BTW, here is how your signature looks like on my browser:

About the signature, ASCII art. Though the encoding should be GB2312, not UTF-8, not latin-1. In IE11, right click on this page, select Encoding->More->Chinese Simplified (GB2312) or Chinese Simplified (GB18030).
