Is this what you were > asking? No, not on startup. It's being run from a Launcher icon. I need to specify a "start in" directory so when the app starts the environment starts in that directory. That way the application finds the configuration files it's looking for. They reside in the same directory the application launches from, but in this case, I'm running java and specifying the jar file for the application. The start in directory really needs to be where the jar file resides. Thanks, James
