Hi,

I trying to create a program that'll run off a USB drive and as such I won't always know the path of the application.

I tried a couple of the methods on this site but I must be missing a reference. I'm really hoping for a simple straight forward solution as I'm not sharing the data.

Borvik posted:

Public Function Path() As String
'App.Path
Return System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
End Function

and followed it up with

Imports System.Reflection.Assembly

I have no idea how to merge the two.

Also, I get variable not defined errors and the code shows up in red.

I'd really appreciate any comments or recommendations.

Thanks in advance,
Paolo
 
leonepaolo,
I think your looking for [tt]CurrentProject.Path[/tt], the other stuff is regular VB.

Hope this helps,
