Or you can set the “current directory” to be the root directory of your web app during application startup. I now do this routinely in all my web apps to avoid similar path-related issues.

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Server.MapPath(“/”));
}

Well that explains a lot!! :o) Thanks for the article – explains why my log files weren’t being created, though I guess they were _somewhere_.

Like the writing style!
