Windows Vista/7 had been "rebuilded" the system architecture, some API maybe
removed for ANSI version, why not use "getcurrentdirectory" instead of
"getcurrentdirectoryA", or more convenient, you can use "app.path" instead
of the API "getcurrentdirectory". "app" is a application object in VB6
runtime that you could use it easily.

Wael was thinking very hard :

I think you're operating under a misconception. The current directory
is a very different thing from the application directory. If you need
to know where your application is, you can use GetModuleFileName to
retrieve the fully-qualified path to your executable. Just pass NULL
as the hModule parameter.

The Microsoft news server is being shutdown. Get yourself an account
at another usenet provider. I'm recommending www.eternal-september.org
as one of the best available right now. The Windows API group(s) are
still fully functional on their server.

You may have a misinterpetation of the current directory. It depens on when
you call the API. Don't assume that the current directory is anywhere
because any application can change the current directory if you are calling
it from within your application. This would be called the Working directory
where the application does it's work. If you call the GetCurrentDirectory
API just after such an operation then the current directory will be the
working directory of the last program you called. Use App.Path to find the
application directory for the current directory could be something else.
