Hi!
I have a program that loads a activeX-component. the code looks like this;

m_ActiveX.loadfile("C:\\file.xxx");

The problem is that i want the "file.xxx" to be in a subfolder called "data", right under the folder where the "file.xxx" is. Ive tried writing just ("data\\file.xxx") and numerous other alternatives but non works.

Could someone please help me on this since i know it can be done, but ive forgotten how.

Many thanks in advance..
Hylsan

This obtains the entire file path name. Then you can parse it to get just the path and append the other file name to create your goal.
Code: 
	LPTSTR lpfile[_MAX_PATH + 1];
	::GetModuleFileName( 0L, (LPTSTR)lpfile, _MAX_PATH);
