 Program Name & PATH I know there must be a way to establish the directory from which a program was launched, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Any suggestions ?

BaseDir$ = App.Path This will only work in the IDE after you have saved the .MAK file. In the IDE
it returns the path to the .MAK file. In the .EXE it returns the path the
.EXE was started from.
Amazing how simple it is, but it dosn't seem to be mentioned very often.
Regards,
Jon

Right, but you owe me a beer. To find the directory from which it was launched:
TheDirectory$ = app.path
To find its name:
TheName$ = app.exename
Hey, check out some of my programs from my Web Page. It is at
http://infomatch.com/~townsend/drc.html
There are some nifty programs you can get off the page. Have fun!

If you mean YOUR program (where it was launched from) then in your main form add the following code (in form_load): Static already as integer Dim loadpath As String If already = 0 Then already = 1 loadpath = CurDir$ If Right$(loadpath, 1) <> "\" Then loadpath = loadpath + "\" End If

It is. CurDir$ returns the current directory, which is usually C:\WINDOWS. App.Path returns the directory the program was run from. Regards,
