Use the GetModuleFileName() API.

	CString strDirectoryPath;
	TCHAR zName[MAX_PATH];
	TCHAR* zLast;
	
	::GetModuleFileName(0,zName,sizeof(zName));
	zLast=_tcsrchr( zName, (TCHAR)'\\');
	if (zLast)
		*(zLast+1) = (TCHAR)'\0';
	
	strDirectoryPath = zName;
	
	///////////////////////////
	ASSERT( !strDirectoryPath.IsEmpty() );
	///////////////////////////

	return strDirectoryPath;

Thanx i guess this piece of code is little better. CString strAppPath; ::GetModuleFileName(NULL,strAppPath.GetBuffer(MAX_PATH),MAX_PATH); strAppPath.ReleaseBuffer(); strAppPath = strAppPath.Left(strAppPath.ReverseFind('\\')); AfxMessageBox(strAppPath); My God is more powerfull Than Your God.

you can also check the GetCurrentDirectory() in the Platform SDK out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/getcurrentdirectory.asp bye,eugi www.eugigames.tk

Current directory is not what i want, i wanted the location of the exe file. suppose the exe file is in c:\windows and if you execute the program from c:\temp then c:\temp is ur current directory and c:\windows is the source directory :-) My God is more powerfull Than Your God.
