Finding the Path to the Program Files Folder
 

Hi All

How do you find the relative path to the Program Files folder on
particular computer so that a declare statement can find a functio
within a dynamic-link library?

Declare Function SOMEFUNCTION Lib "c:\Program Files\SomeDLL.dll" (ByVa
SomeNo As Double) As Double

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards

Jerem

Finding the Path to the Program Files Folder
 

Hi JGS,

Try:

'=============
Public Sub TesterX()
Dim Wsh As Object
Dim sPath As String

Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sPath = Wsh.SpecialFolders("Programs")

MsgBox sPath

End Sub
'<<=============

JGS,

if the DLL is properly registered with regsvr
imo you dont need to specify a path.
