Initial Dir

This SHOULD be easy, but it's driving me NUTZ!ÿ How do I determine what directory my app starts up in?ÿ I need to open some aux files, and the user can choose whatever directory they want to install to.

Ideally, the Package and Deployment Wizard would stamp a registry key, but it doesn't.

use the path property of the application object ie:
dim InitDir as String
InitDir = App.Path

This will get you the directory/path on which the exe is executed from
Beware in development mode it returns the VB directory

EXE's will return the directory they are run from.

Once you save a project...

App.Path WILL return the directory you saved your project in.
