Runtime error 76: path not found error VB6 program on Windows 7
I have an older VB6 program that works fine on XP but gives a File Not Found error on Windows 7.
I'm trying to figure out how I can determine what path/file it is trying to access in order to try and resolve the issue.
Would anyone know how I can determine exactly what it is looking for but can't find?
I do not have the source code, only the compiled exe.
Thanks.

That worked, thanks.
There is a function that returns the values in environment variables, and if memory serves it is a variant so you should cast it to a string. The function is environ()
Although this page shows VBA code in Excel, it shows how to list out all the environment variables:

It would be the user profile directory location change is your problem though. If not, it will be another special directory location change.
