I have two application, each in it's location.

As clients will run both, is there a way to set the default start-up thru
code as they open each application?

TIA.

If by the 'default startup' folder you mean the active folder, you
could include the command

ChDir <your folder of choice here>

In any code that runs right when the application starts.

Thanks Chuck.

I'm trying to change the default startup folder and I see (in my test) that
this does not do that.

FWIW, I have a shortcut on the desktop and each application gets into the
right set of folders...

It's just I think I need to be more careful by setting it correctly in each
app.

Needless to say, now it's correct only ONCE. <VBG>

Thanks again!
