Lets say that i have folder named text and in it there is text.txt.Here is my question how to open file from specific folder without writing "C:\..." or "D:\..."?

unless it is in the same folder as the program opening it, the file must have the C:\whatever\.

if the program is trying to access a file within a folder in the programs folder then you can do it like this (assuming your prog is in c:\f\) -

c:\f\folder\file.ext
OR
\folder\file.ext

Thanks for reply. When i was searching net i found another solution command CHDIR.

If the folder is in the same directory as your program, you can use relative instead of absolute path and without using CHDIR.

Works...
OPEN "text\text.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1

Will not work...this is an incomplete path as shown from the previous reply.
OPEN "\text\text.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1
