Actually here is what I am looking for. The first step of my product's installation is to copy the master specified directory from the installation media to the computer's c drive. This is the visinet dir and it contains all the other required directories. Up to now, the user had to keep this structure intact and was required to install the GUI, step 2, into the GUI dir located in the master dir. Now I want the user to be able to change the name and drive of the master dir. This dir must still contain the original structure but can have a different name and location. The app then on start up would could use the Application->ExeName to figure out what the master dir is and use this as a reference to all other required directories. That is the basic id. In general, what is the best way for an app to use, as a reference for all app specific directory requirments, the actual location of the app. Hope this clears it up. Thanks again.
