Here's a simple solution which assumes that your program running in the
VB environment will be different than the directory location of the
executable.
Assume dev directory is c:\users\berkoski
Near the starting point of my code, I can say...
If Instr$("\users\berkoski", App.Path) then
'-- development environment
Else
'-- standalone executable
End If
I'm not sure if I got the order of the arguments correct on the Instr$
call, but you get the idea.
