Hi,

I am experimenting with Jabaco and have run into a problem.

The call to App.Path returns wrong path.

The actual path of my project is: c:\Job\Junk\Jabaco

But the App.Path returned is: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\Jabaco3148396

Why this happens?

TIA

An update:
If I compile/make the project to EXE and run it then it returns: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp

It's the right path.

Quoted

The actual path of my project is: c:\Job\Junk\Jabaco

And it will be given out with

	Jabaco Source
1	MsgBox (CurDir)

Quoted

But the App.Path returned is: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\Jabaco3148396

Right. Thats where your class-files are in. Have you looked in that directory? The class files are compiled to that directory.

An update:
If I compile/make the project to EXE and run it then it returns: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp

Right. Because the exe-file (for example "Program.exe" creates a jar-file (for example Program.exe.jar) in C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp. And that jar file is then started by the JavaVM.
