CurDir not pointing to directory

When I exit a form and go back to the calling form CurDir drops the directory path and only points to the drive. The exited (unloaded) form contains a DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox and I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem. How can I reset the CurDir to show the directory path that the program is running in and not just the drive?

Do have any idea why this happends with curdir?

AnswerTheMan

curdir is giving you VB ddirectory while running from within VB, and last directory used when running the EXE.
App.Path will always return the Application Path
