Hi,
Is it possible to use "Current Directory" as source (instead of full /absolute path) to copy file /folder to current user profile?
Source: C:\myData\Backups\Latest**UserBackup**\SavedData\StdDoc.txt
<Instead of using the whole path, can we limit to the current directory, In my case it's UserBackup where the VB app should run>
Possibility to define source as: CurrentDir\SavedData\StdDoc.txt ?
Destination: %UserName%\Documents\StdDoc.txt
I am working with Single File /Application and yes, it's Windows Application Forms application /Desktop application.

Hi
You seem to be making things very difficult for yourself.
Why not:
Doing something like that allows all the freedom to browse and offers the use of last stored data as defaults.

If a single file .NET Framework 4.x WinForms application, it should work. If not .NET Framework 4.x (or prior), then things are a bit more complicated (but can be done).
The suggestion by anonymous user of prompting the user is also a very good option as this provides flexibility in allowing the application to "launch from anywhere". With that said, this suggestion also doesn't really solve the problem as you are still left with two options:
As an end-user, I like the idea of things "just working" out of the box and, as anonymous user suggests, given the ability to modify these values to suit my particular needs.
