I have a custom developed program that was designed in Delphi using the Borland Database library that will only run correctly if executed from the directory it is contained in.  It will not run from the start menu nor will it run from a launcher that I have built on the Desktop.  I figure it has to be something with the path referencing.   I have scoured the internet and tried many suggestions, however none of which have solved the problem.

work?
