How do I find out the exe filename of the application

[StewartUK]

I have a prg file that is in more than one project.

I want the program to do different things according to whichever exe it is running in.

How do I find out the exe file name?

Thanks,

Stewart

Try SYS(16)...
from vfp help:
SYS(16) returns the name of the executable file if called from an executable (.exe) file;

I tried just SYS(16) but that returns the actual individual .prg file that is running.

Thanks Borislav, SYS(16,1) returns the exe name.

Stewart,

I tried just SYS(16) but that returns the actual individual .prg file that is running.

If you do SYS(16) in your main prog, it will return the name of that PRG when running in the development environment, and the name of the EXE when running in the run time.

(I know you have already solved the problem; the above is just for future reference.)

Mike
