    Default Directory

    Is there a way to determine the directory that a program is being run out of? I want the common dialog box do default to the directory that the program resides in. Is there an API for this (in which case I have posted this to the wrong forum, sorry. ;-) ), or is there a vb command?

    The common dialog would know only if you knew. So, before envoking it, you have to find it, retrieve the folder name, and set that folder name as its InitDir.
