Navision Filepath

Big_D

Hi Mibuso Community

Is there a way to know where Navision is running from, i.e., if run from C:\Navision\Fin.exe then I want to know that it was run from C:\Navision or if run from E:\Navision\Fin.exe then I want to know that it was run from E:\Navision?

Thanks for your help as always !

Cheers

message(APPLICATIONPATH);

ah forgott to post the solution, if you are us NAV <5.0

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	

CREATE(WSHShell);
MESSAGE('%1',WSHShell.CurrentDirectory);

Hi Garak

Thanks for the reply yes it was a 3.70 version I required. I found IWshShell3 in Windows Script Host Object Model - presumed it was one and the same for an XP m/c! What OLE do I need to register to run your lovely code?

Cheers and thanks

Hi Garak

Remembered that I have used that Automation ('Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell) for setting function keys and obtaining the windows currency so I just used your routine in the same codeunit and bingo - all works great thanks !

Never understood why Navision remembers a registration in one object but doesn't allow the same Automation routine in another new instance!

Cheers and thanks

Hi Garak

Am on a roll today - found wshom.ocx in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ and this had the actual WshShell which works in all objects now - hurrah !

Thanks
