How to find folder name where an application (*.exe) is launched

How to find folder name where an application (*.exe) is launched

How to find folder name where an application (*.exe) is launched

(OP)
If I have an VB application (*.exe file), how can I find the location (path) in the program code where the application is launched?  For example, if I have an excutable file (test.exe) in C:\Temp folder and I launch this application by double-clicking it in explorer, does the codes in this VB program have access to information (C:\Temp) where this application is launched?

Thanks,

Alex

Try App.Path.
