How get and set directory for MapInfo tables?

[Evgeny Kleiman]

Hello,

I have the following problem. In my MBX-application an user firstly opens a dialog where he/she selects a directory and opens some table in the directory. All the following work takes place in this directory so for all operations only name of a table is used. For example:

 Open Table "Restrictions"  (1)

or

Commit Table "Restrictions" (2)

But sometimes an user wants to open a table from other directory using MapInfo, not  MBX-application  . After that when user returns to operations with MBX-application it seems that current directory is changed so the operation like (1) or (2) work wrong.

So my question: how can I check and/or change the current directory for work with tables? Is it possible to not change the selected directory of the application when user open tables in MapInfo?

Thank you

I’d always recommend using a precise reference when opening a table, that is path and file name.

You could grab the path from one of the opened tables and use this in your code.
