      XPost: alt.comp.lang.visualbasic       From: nospam@nospam.nl              Hello,              I have an application (.exe) build in Visual Basic 6. The code (and       programmer) are gone. The program doesn't work because it looks for a ms       access file (.mdb) in an unknown directory. I need to figure out which       directory this is. Is there anyway to do this? The direcory is probably       hard-coded in the .exe, so could it be still in there as a string? Open the       .exe with some tool and look for strings? Or is there a way to step through       a running vb application?              This probably isn't a vb6 question, but that is what I work with and that is       what this application is build with and I have no idea how to accomplish       such a task, or if it's even possible. So any help would great,              Thanks.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
