The following Visual Basic for Applications sample code retrieves the complete path for the Visio executable file and displays the result in a message box: Private Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib &quot;kernel32&quot; Alias _ &quot;GetCommandLineA&quot; As String

Public Sub VisioExePath

Dim visExePath As String Dim PathLength As Long visExePath = Space(255) visExePath = GetCommandLine PathLength = Len(visExePath) - 4

MsgBox Mid(visExePath, 2, PathLength) End Sub
