Thanks for the suggestion, but this method will require the EXE to be running to return the correct value. My current method only requires an EXE file to be in the development folder so my method will work even if in the IDE.

Maybe take a look at "_VFP.servername". That returns a character string of the .exe (including path) that is being executed.
Example: my_exe_file = _vfp.servername
I don't think this will work if you are running ".app" files - in that case it may always return the path to the VFP9.exe executable. But if you run that line of code within a compiled VFP .exe, you should always get the path/name of the .exe (assuming that is what you're after here).
