As a result of an extended discussion in the H1B thread, I suggested that we start a new topic on brainstorming ideas for finding work in the current market. This includes job hunting tips as well as ideas for software products to develop or software services to offer., , The idea is to have everyone throw out as many ideas as possible with the intention that those who are out of work grab any useful ones and use them to get a job, get a contract with a user, or start developing a product to sell. Any of these are better than sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring!, , So, everyone, if you have any ideas that you are willing to share, please pitch them in now!

The DLL has its own Application object. That Application object has a property, Application.Handle which is the Windows module handle for the DLL., , Use , GetModuleFileName (Application.Handle,Path,Pathsize) to get the path of the DLL. You have to provide a buffer for Path and specify the maximum Pathsize.
