Is there anyway to get the relative path to a specific directory? For instance Here is my directory structure (shortened version):

\profiler
\profiler\data
\profiler\progs
\profiler\progs\source

etc...

Now, if my app is called from another app, I need to find the relative path to the \profiler\progs subdirectory. The problem is that the progs directory could be under a different directory instead of \profiler. it could be like so:

\pro32
\pro32\data
\pro32\progs
\pro32\progs\source

So if my current default directory is \pro32\data and I want to know how to get to \pro32\progs, the answer SHOULD be "..\progs." The subdirectory structure will always be the same, but the parent directory could change. Is there a function/way of doing this programmatically?

TIA!
