Application Path Inconsistency

Why Trust Us

Be aware that when using the Path property of the Applicationobject (App.Path), if your EXE is run from the root directoryof a drive, App.Path will return the drive letter and a backslash(C:), while an EXE in a subdirectory returns only the directoryname (C:DIR). Your application should, therefore, test for thepresence of the backslash before adding a file name to it: 

 MyPath=App.PathIf Not Right(MyPath,1)=Chr(92) +_        Then MyPath=MyPath & Chr(92)
