How do I get the path to the program's exe and its directory?

ProgramFilename()

i use GetCurrentDirectory()

isn't good ?

Try this code with a saved and unsaved project to see the difference:

GetCurrentDirectory() can be affected by all kinds of procedures. For example, if your application prints using MS document writer then that will reset the current directory (and cause srod many hours of bug hunting! grrrr....) The point is that GetCurrentDirectory() can never be trusted to return the folder in which the executable resides.

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet:

Well, I didn't think it really needed posting what with ProgramFilename() already being listed!

ok, thanks to all!

next time i will use programfilename()

what? did you use 2 accounts to post and then reply?. I sense that your "voice engine" doesn't really need to know all those things you asked on the previous posts ... are you writing malware?.

Ofcourse not Quit making me want to make one lol

Also according to another thread, it seems that it can't harm trying to clarify something ...

You obviously mean the 2 accounts with the names "Chirantha" and "buzzqw", no? It seems to be a misunderstanding, and I think the situation is pretty simple:

People wrote some explanations, and then

Everything as clear as mud?
I think we shouldn't suspect other people of doing strange things without knowing hard facts.

I know but all those questions seemed to point towards malware to me, I just asked to ask - I didn't blame anyone nor pointed fingers saying he should be burnt with the witches...
