I have a forms menu from which I want to call different forms applications with different working directories. When an application is selected, I want the menu form to programatically change the working directory then call the first form of the application. On return, the menu would reset the working directory. I don't want to change forms45_path in the registry and I don't want to have a long and unmanageable forms45_path which includes all possible directories.

Is there a way to do this? I have seen elusive references to loadpath (insert loadpath, delete loadpath, describe loadpath) which would seem to be what I am after but there is little info about them and I can't seem to get the syntax to work.

The only other way I can think of is to set a global directory variable in the menu which is prepended to the name of all called forms in the application.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
