    Resolved [RESOLVED] Finding the path of a file, not the application

    I have a "Reflection for IBM Session" that I open, the file location is lets say "C:\Files\" however when I use application.path command I get "C:\Program Files\Reflection\" so I am getting the application that the file is opening up with, is there any way in VBA to get the path of the file that is opened ?

    Yes, but which program are you using? Excel, Word, PP?

    Excel would be -
    Workbook.Path

    Word -
    Document.Path

    I am running VBA from within a IBM WRQ Reflections Emulator, so none of the above.

    Hmm, never used that one. Anything in its documentation or Object Browser? Try searching Path in each.

    Turned out to be as simple as "CurDir" thanks for the guidance, I had been looking in there all morning, but something you said must have helped me out.
