I am developing an app that I am using an .ini file to save some settings to. I am getting some confsion about where the files goes based on the path I give it. 1st of all would there be any difference in saying "settings.ini" and "./settings.ini"??? 2nd, When I dont' give it a specific directory to goto It seems to change where isn't going for no reason. Sometimes its where the VB file is located, and sometimes its c:\windows and sometimes its where VB is installed to. I don't want to use a specific path cause I want it to go where ever the program is installed to and I don't want that path to be set in stone. I tried to search and find more info on this didn't find much. Oh, and what about app.path? Does that give the current working directory or will that ALWAYS give the path to where the program is located, if so thats what I need right?? Thanks.
