It's nice to know that even though all my old tools are breaking, I've been supplied with new tools that are even easier. The Application Directory VI works perfectly. I was frustrated that I hadn't checked for such a feature before and didn't find it in 8.5.1. Good to know I'm not a total dummy, just unfamiliar with the features of 2009. Thanks to you both!

I'm having trouble with a build that worked in 8.5.1, but breaks in 2009. What I have is a VI that traces back to the root VI when developing or the .exe if built. I want to read from an .ini that's in the same folder as either the root VI or executable. The code I have is attached. The problem seems to be in a project containing this file. If I compile in 8.5.1 and this file is three VIs deep in the hierarchy it still returns "C:\OneDirectory\TwoDirectories\Config.ini", but if I compile in 2009 it returns "C:\OneDirectory\TwoDirectories\Application.exe\FoolishDirectory\Borkborkbork\Config.ini". I think it is because of a change in the default option for "Preserve disk hierarchy" in the executable build: I can't figure out how to change this, but it is different between 8.5.1 and 2009. Can anyone help me with a correction, or maybe a work around? I'd be much obliged. Code:mvcfgConfigPath.vi
