My problem is a bit difficult for me to describe .. but here goes...
I use c:\ as the root and c:\DATA as the data directory. A graphic viewing program is installed in c:\DATA\GraphView to allow users to view files on the target CD. On the AutoPlay menu, one of the options is executing the graphic program (from the CD)which opens a catalog file in the C:\DATA directory. In defining the action to do this, an argument must be supplied to specify the location of the file to be opened by the application. I entered c:\DATA\HiRes.alb in the argument slot. This works fine prior to transferring the files to a CD
The problem - when I build the AutoPlay menu and transfer it to a CD the file HiRes.alb isn't found because autoplay looks for it in the C:\DATA directory rather then in the DATA subdirectory of the CD. If I put %ScrDrv%\DATA\HiRes.alb in the argument slot, it still doesn't work.
What do I need to put in the argument slot of the action to direct the application to look for the argument in the DATA subdirectory of the CD?
