>I am trying to avoid hard coding paths in several components I have built. Ideally, I would like to set a property (MyObject.CappStartpath) in the MyObject.init that would reflect the the path of the IIS application that has instantiated it. Something like "d:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webfax\", webfax being the application. The data is in a "data" subdirectory from webfax.

How about setting the datapath in an application registry entry? Using the Registry class in the FFC, or any one of several registry classes found here in the files section, it would take only two lines of code.
