Re: help with c++ program

Hi, I hope this is the right group for this question.
i'm writing a simple form program in Visual C++ express.

the following code reads a configuration file and works fine:
private: void ReadCfg(void) {
string fileline;
char* Adir;
Adir = "C:\\demand\\MipMenu\\MipMenu.cfg" ;
ifstream CfgFile (Adir);
getline(CfgFile, fileline);
processline(fileline, 1) ;
....

now i want to put the configuration file in the current directory.
this works fine in debug, but gives an error when executing without
debugging (I checked the file is in the debug and release
directories).

private: void ReadCfg(void) {
string fileline;
char* Adir;
const char *fname = "\\MipMenu.cfg";
// Get the current working directory:
if( (Adir = _getcwd( NULL, 0 )) == NULL )
perror( "_getcwd error" );
strcat(Adir, fname);

ifstream CfgFile (Adir); //C:\\demand\\MipMenu\\
getline(CfgFile, fileline);
processline(fileline, 1) ;
....

Any help will be appreciated
