Running Program from cdrom

[FATTY]

I can get my program running right from cd(i'm burning it my self).
A problem with that he can not find the file's in other maps on cd.
I used the App.Path & "\his.txt"
Bud that don't works.
On my c: drive and others it's working fine.
Can somebody help me with did?

App.Path and file could be your problem
If your txt file is in your appfolder/myfolder/his.txt
then the app.path will look for appfile/his.txt
if your code states
app.path & "myfolder/" & his.txt then it will find it.

check your code and the location of your folders.
if his.txt is in the appfolder then
app.path & "his.txt" will work.
Make sure you have the "/" add to your app.path

If Right(App.Path, 1) <> "/" Then _
appPath = App.Path & "/" _
Else appPath = App.Path
end if

Hope this is some help.

Try this...

' If your running your .EXE from the root (\) of the CD this should work...
Dim cdRoot As String
If Right$(App.Path, 1) = "\" Then cdRoot = App.Path Else cdRoot = App.Path & "\"
Form2.txtFileName.Text = cdRoot & "songtxt\deuce.txt"

' If your running your .EXE from a subdir on the CD, such as x:\AUTORUN, then
' the following code should work...
Dim cdRoot As String
cdRoot = Left$(App.Path, 2) & "\"
Form2.txtFileName.Text = cdRoot & "songtxt\deuce.txt"

Before wasting a CD, test your CD by running this command... subst T: d:\folder_where_your_cd_stuff_is ...this will create a temporary drive T: that will emulate a CD-ROM drive for you to test your program!
