As long as you don't need the actual path you can tell the program to use the current directory, which for any app is usually the directory in which it was initiated from by simply adding a period the beginning of the path declaration.
Example: Say I want to open a pictures in a images folder that resides in the same directory as my executeable. I can open the picture this way. "./images/picture.jpg" Does this resolve your issue?

I am working on converting our current Meditech scripts to the Boston Workstation environment and have run into a small snag. Some of our current scripting code uses the visual basic App.Path property. I have been informed that Boston Workstations VBA environment does not support the App object and does not have a equivalent to the App.Path property. Has anyone found or develop a work around?
