hello,

I have created a simple windows form application that uses an access database as it's backend. The database will be in the same directory as the EXE file that is generated. Since the two files are in the same directory is there a way that I can get the path to the database...I have been using the registry to store this path, but want to avoid doing this. I also don't want to use the config file that has been generated.

Any info, links or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Ed:

You could use Path.GetFullPath("your_filename") to retrieve the
absolute path to the file. The Path class is in the System.IO
namespace.
