I am struggling to make different destination paths for Export and Import files when running in designer mode and RunTime time in the application.

Tests are OK in Designer mode, but fail in RunTime.
If I change paths to work in Runtime, then I cannot test the routines in designer mode.

Design work is frequently done on my local PC.  Then reconciled to application on customer Server.  But sometimes Designer is used on a customer workstation.  Workstations are mapped to a Share on the server, but the Drive letters are not recognized by the Server when going to relative paths in Client-Server mode.

Server 2012 has a Share identified as Sesame2. On the server it is the C:\Sesame2\ folder.
Sesame is installed on the \\Server\Sesame2\ folder
Work stations are mapped so Drive S goes to the share Sesame2 with a subfolder \Sesame2\Exports\

Cannot find a common path for both modes.  Need to make something like this:

// Set vDataPath based on environment
var vDataPath as String            // Destination path for exports
                                   // and Source path for imports

// Designer/Runtime mode on my local workstation
If @DirectoryExists("C:\Sesame2\CustName") Then {
     vDataPath = "C:\Sesame2\CustName\Exports"
     } ELSE {

     // On customer network, local station
     If @DirectoryExists("S:\Exports") Then {

          // Runtime mode on customer network, local station
          If @RuntimeMode Then {
               vDataPath = "Exports"
               } ELSE {

               // Designer mode on customer network, local station
               If @DesignerMode Then {
                    vDataPath = "S:\Sesame2\Exports"
                    } ELSE {

                    // None of above conditions exist
                    @MsgBox("Control folders not found.","","This may not be a valid setup.")
                   }
          }
     }
} 

Is there such a command somewhere that I have not been able to find?

Here is a small batch file I quickly created and tested it.  Seems to work OK.  Batch file named Sdesigner.bat.  Made a shortcut using Sdesigner icon.  Set to run in minimized mode to keep invisible.

Here is the code:

ECHO OFF
ECHO Designer >> C:\Sesame2\Designer_ON.txt

:: Start from Sesame2 folder where the rootdirs.ini file is located.
C:
CD\Sesame2\
C:\Sesame2\Program\Sdesigner.exe

DEL C:\Sesame2\Designer_ON.txt

:: File Sdesigner.bat file created on 11/24/2017 by Bob Hansen, rmhansense@sensiblesolutions.org
:: Batch file to start Sesame Designer, create a status file, and delete it when closed.
:: Designed to be used to see if Designer is running by checking for a text file in the Sesame directory.

 

Hope it helps

Thanks Ray.   Now that you told me,  I recall hearing about that before.   Never used it yet, but will try it out tomorrow.

Thanks also to Bob for his quick batch file.   I did try that and it did work out.   But using @PreviewMode() will be easier.   Will work everywhere without having to remember to install a batch file.   

Appreciate the solutions.
