 Ini File on Start of Exe

I am using VB16 and an Access 2.0 database which has both Access tables
and attached dbase III files.  After I compile my program and execute
the exe,  the program works fine.  If I move the executable to a
different directory (and repoint my ini files), I get a dialog box upon
execution asking me what ODBC data drivers I want to use.  I think I've
seen this before when I forgot to put the "app.ini" file in the windows
directory.  Can anyone help me?  I've spent alot of time on this
seemingly simple problem.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using an ODBC data source that is no longer pointing to the correct
path?

I don't think so.  The only ODBC I am using is throught the attached table and
I have not moved the mdb file.  The INI file is now pointing to the original
mdb.
