It appears to me that if you call it twice (relatively not absolutely)

e.g.


It sets the directory to "graphics\models\" the second time round when I would really want it to be "models".

Do I really have no choice but to save everything a "stuff" folder or is there a way around it.

Thanks

This is because it uses the last directory as the relative directory, and not the default directory.
You could probably use
dbSetDir ( "..\\models\\" ); //do something
second time round.

I was trying to avoid using long file paths but I guess its just the way it has to be.

Thanks anyway

This function I wrote quickly should fix your problem:



Just call it as you are above but with the function name AlexI_SetDir
