Ed, Andrew,
I remember that when starting a VFP application as an out of process server object, the SYS(16,0) function does not return the correct path, _VFP.servername OTH does.
Walter,

>>>I am looking for a VFP command that will return the path of the running exe that the Delphi command below returns:
>>>
>>>Delphi command~"ExeLocation := ExtractFilePath(Application.EXEName);"
>>>
>>>Note: the reason I need this is that MS's new Visaul Installer creates shortcuts with an empty "start in" location. When I try to set help to myhelpfile it no longer finds my help file which is in a subfolder below my exe's folder. If I launch my exe from it's on folder there are no error messages. When launched from the shortcut, the help file is not found and errors result. I wrote a DLL in Delphi to obtain the true location of my vfp exe, but it seems as though there should be a command in VFP. Sys(5)+Curdir() seems to return the location of the VFP runtime dll.
