  We investigate the viability of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis in D=4, N=1
supergravity descending from string theory. The process relies on an initial
condition where visible sector supersymmetric flat directions obtain tachyonic
masses during inflation. We discuss this condition for a variety of cases where
supersymmetry is broken during inflation by a geometric modulus or hidden
sector scalar, and outline scenarios where the initial condition is satisfied.
