How Can a .DLL know its caller

[mbeverley]

I am posting this question her, because I suspect it will require an API call. When within the code of a DLL (a class I am writing), when I use the APP.PATH etc. I get the DLL and not the calling application. Understandable, but not what I wanted. How can I get the APP information for the calling application?

Can anyone please advise me?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

What you are dealing with is COM/COM+ (the architecture that powers Classes, Controls, ActiveX, and all that junk)

There is no way that I know of to get this information, but you can add a property to your class called CreatorPathName, and when you call the class, set CreatorPathName to the path of the app that calls it.
