Emulate desktop shortcut start in directory

[rmlucero]

What I am looking to do is to launch an executable program in VB that
will also point to the "start in" directory.
On the Shortcut, the Target is the command line and the Start in is
the working directory.

I know this is simple, Please help.

Thanks.

I am running an executable program (gerber viewer) and you need to
browse to the working directory if it is not in the same as the program
directory. Windows shortcut allows for the pointing to the working
directory via the "Start In". My browse starts where i want to start
which is on a network drive and since you can not use a shortcut to
launch a program, I am just trying to find a way to just do the same.

Sounds like ChDir is what you want.

ChDir Changes Directory, i.e. it changes the current directory to what you
pass to ChDir. If you look in VBA help there will be more help in there.
