MMF2 - Saving Current Directory

This may be a simple question. I have been using ".\Data\filename.ext" to save a file.

Now I have been using the OPEN Dialog to allow the user to save a worksheet to My Documents.

The program seems to get lost and will not save to ".\Data\filename.ext" I can type in the full path name like C:\My Program Dir\Data\filename.ext and it works

How do you get the current directory you are in??? so I can save it.

Well after several hours of looking I finally found the solution. You need the AppPath$ from the Expression Editor.

This really needs to be added to the file extensions. New users would look forever trying to find this.

In addition the expression editor should have these listed on a button or part of the help button.

Anyway my application is working now.

Thanks, dude! This has helped me too.

I have been using the 'file' object to put and get files into my program, it works pretty well, but thanks for the AppPath$...
