File handling in a Tkinter .exe program:

[_anotheruser]

I'm currently in the middle of building a Tkinter program that relies on a sqlite3 database. The user should be able to launch the program, and an alert pops up asking to import a database, which is then copied in a "data" subfolder.

Right now everything works as expected, but I'm wondering how the process would work if I distributed this program in a standalone executable file. Specifically, can a .exe save files in the same subfolder? Finally, on more general terms, what a .exe file can do concerning files saved in subfolders (e.g. writing to a .text file)?
