save .lyr (layer file) programmatically in ArcGIS 8
I've been up and down on Esri's website trying to find the solution to this, but can't get it to work. Basically I created a tool that when clicked creates a layer file for each map layer loaded. However they are only getting set to absolute paths, not relative so if I move it to another computer with the same structure but different drive letter it cannot find the layer. It works great through the ArcMap interface when I save a layer file manually but won't work programmatically. Something in the way the layer gets saved is the problem. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? thanks
