If you use 'GetForegroundCaption" before you open any other windows (assuming that BWS is the topmost window), or force BWS to come to the front, you can retrieve the path of your executable. Just filter out the 'Boston WorkStation - " that preceeds the full path.

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?
