I am wanting to find the directory my program is installed in and use this
in my code. Is there a fast, easy way to do this?

Hi Matthew,

in my code. Is there a fast, easy way to do this?
Click to expand...

Imports System.Reflection

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)

Cheers

'Application.StartupPath', or more general (can be used in DLL projects
too):

\\\
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
..
..
..
Private Function ApplicationPath() As String
Return _
Path.GetDirectoryName([Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
End Function
///
