I sometimes send a program to other people. It consists of an ado file that writes out a character file, and a windows .exe file to process that data. The ado file has a line
Code:
! taxsim<`infile' >`outfile'
to execute the taxsim.exe calculator. By and large my users are unable to follow my instructions to place the executable in the executable path, although they mostly manage to put the ado file in an appropriate place. In some cases this is because IT staff have locked down the executable path directories. I looked at -adosubdir- but don't see how it could be useful - it seems to just reutn the first letter of the filename. Is there a way to put the path to an ado file into a macro? I feel like most of them could put both files in the same place without extreme difficulty. Any other suggestions?
