Does anyone know how to make a .exe recognize it's own file name while running without hard coding the file name. The name of this .exe file will change continually and I won't know what it is changed to but the program needs to know. writing a second file is out of the question. Thank you for any help on this.

Here's a function that'll do it.
Note that it gives the entire path, not just the EXE name.
print GetEXEName$()
Function GetEXEName$()
exename$ = space$(_MAX_PATH)
CallDLL #kernel32, "GetModuleFileNameA",_
_NULL as ulong,_
exename$ as ptr,_
_MAX_PATH as long,_
ret as long
GetEXEName$ = trim$(exename$)
End Function

Chris, You sir are the bomb! Thank you very much. Works perfect. I need to learn more about DLL's. I bought Alyce's API's for Liberty Basic. I read it. I now need to study it. Thanks again Chris.
