Fix he shortcut "Start In:" option. Make it the directory you expect.
In your app, use CurrDir to check if you are in the right directory. You could even show a message to fix the shortcut, if it is wrong.

On our network the database is on Y:\ and the sub is Y:\PDFs\. At home, database is on C:\RBTI\RBG96_64\Samples and the sub C:\RBTI\RBG96_64\Samples\PDFs. I have always used (cval('CurrDir')) to locate the correct database location and store/find the PFDs regardless of the computer. It always works. Lately, this works correctly in uncompiled versions, but when I compile to an .exe file the value of CurrDir is assigned the name of the compiler directory regardless of where the actual .exe is built. We have compiled our system for several years with no problems. I put a screen of variables right after CurrDir is fired and the value of CurrDir was 'C:\RBTI\RBG96_64_Compiler' even when the .exe was built on network Y:\ (work) or C:\ (home). A workaround with ISCOMPILED and an IF..THEN works, but I'd rather have CurrDir adjust to the location of the database as it always has. Any suggestions? Tom Frederick Jacksonville, IL
