Description : People often encounter problems when they make their final executables, and start them from a shortcut on the desktop or similar.

This will solve those problems!

Add it as the first thing in your code, and you're home free.

Code :

Code: BlitzBasic

1. ; Path to executable
2. Global apppath$ = SystemProperty$("appdir")
3. If Lower$(Right$(apppath$,4))="bin"
4.         ; Running from the IDE
5.         apppath$ = CurrentDir$()
6. End If
7. If Right$(apppath,1)<>"" Then apppath = apppath+""
8. ChangeDir(apppath)
