Hi,

I'm using an ISAPI dll to access a DBISAM database. The DBISAM files are in
a subfolder under the dll called '/data'. I know this is more of a general
ISAPI question but who do I code the data folder without having to hard code
the entire path. If I use the following code:

DBISAMDatabase1.Directory:='.\data\';

it will fail when run under IIS. However it works fine when debugging under
a simple web server standalone exe (wwwserver.exe availbale from kbmMW).

Using IIS I have to hard code the entire path to get it to correctly point
at the database folder:

DBISAMDatabase1.Directory:='d\inetpub\scripts\data';

Has anyone been able to workaround this when using IIS?

Thanks,
Steve

I'd use the registry.

Hi Steve,

You can use the "GetModuleFileName" function in your code (using
hInstance), extract the path, and add the "data" directory. It works
for me.
