>Our application works off of settings stored in foxpro tables, like most VFP frameworks do. When we designed this functionality five years ago, the solution we used was using a shortcut (.lnk) file because we can specify the Target and Start In (which can be pointing to a different server) properties which are very integral to our application in finding the settings when it boots up.
Ramil,
I am still not sure why you need the .lnk. Both "Target" and "Start In" can be specified as parameters of ShellExecute, right? Maybe I am missing something here, but isn't Target the fullpath of the executable (lpFile) an Start In is the default directory (lpDirectory)?
