Simple question (I hope ..)
Is it possible to differentiate, in the code, between runtime and
dev. envirinm. ??
The 'CurDir' functionality/result differs when you're in either of
the 2........
(runtime : .EXE dir)
(dev. : VB dir)

'CurDir' is the current directory. 'App.Path' is the directory
in which the application resides. The two do not need to be the same
-- in setting up a shortcut, you can specify the current directory for
the application to be something other than the directory where the
application resides.

One way to do this is to use an SDK call to GetModuleFileName to determine the exe name (see also App.hInstance) If the answer is VB32.EXE then you know you are in the development environment. Anything else, you're not. Dave | |||||

I'd suggest looking at App.EXEname. But this won't do you any good if
your EXE name is the same as your project name. Otherwise, this is
a simple technique for what you want to do.
