    Can anyone Field a Visual Basic Question?

    I haven't found a board like this for VB, and to this point I have not needed one.

    Heres my problem.

    I am writing files in VB, everytime I write a file it gets created in C:/Windows. I need to specify the path with the filename, the application cannot rely on a static path so I need to find a way to get the path to the .exe that is my VB program.

    I can imagine that there is some kind of global identifier, I just dont know it.

    Code:
        Dim gPath As String
        gPath = App.Path
        If (Right(gPath, 1) <> "\") Then
            gPath = gPath & "\"
        End If
    And here is a good VB forum.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
