Please Help with managing directories

[Shoke]

Hi,

I have a bunch of sounds in my game which are needed throughout the game. I have therefore made the locations of the sounds as constants. However, the locations on my computer is going to be different from another computer, and since i have the sounds as constants, i can't use
app.path!

What can i do?

Please Help!

In order to get this to work right and use the constants you will still have to use the App.Path property, you could probably do something like this....

' assume the file in is in a folder named Folder in the application path
Private Const SOUND1 = "Folder\Sound.wav"

Private Sub MakeNoise()
 Dim sSoundPath

 sSoundPath = IIf(Right(App.Path, 1) = "\", App.Path & Sound1, App.Path & "\" & SOUND1)
 
 'code to play sound
 
End Sub
