CurDir is not reliable: if one opens BWS and then access a script, CurDir will not 'follow' the directory, inasmuch as the open directory has not changed. Also, if one executes a shortcut, then unless the directory is specifically changed, CurDir also will not 'follow.'

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?
