Determine Currect Directory

[RClarkeJr]

I have a webpage which will load on a number of servers, and each webpage must load a txt file within its root folder. Since the folder name will change from server to server, I need a way to find the current directory and then load the txt file from that location via vbscript.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

try this:

strAppPath = Left (WScript.ScriptFullName,(Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName)))

Hope this helps...

If in asp you may consider the Server.MapPath method.

Hope This Helps, PH.

I decided to go this route

Function 1
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
STRFILENAME = fso.GetAbsolutePathName("imgs")
End Function

Function 2
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
pathstring = STRFILENAME & "\maildates.txt"
Set ts = fspenTextFile(pathstring, ForReading)
End Function

When I test this through Visual InterDev it works perfectly. But when I open the webform on the server, it is looking for the file on my c:\documents and settings\username\desktop\imgs

What is going? Please help. Thank you
