Saving files to My Documents Folder

[MarkD]

How do you save data into the My Documents folder in NT and 95/8

Any help much appreciated

It's actually a Physical Directory on your hard drive. Just save the file in there. It's on the root of your drive..

C:\My Documents

If you are doing it on a 16-Bit system it's ..

C:\MYDOCU~1

Hope this helps.

You are not supposed to hard code the paths to various Windows folders in your apps. That is like assuming that the WINDOWS directory is always C:\WINDOWS....

You can either read it from the registry or use the code from one of my previous posts:

Thanks for the replies.

The real problem is that the app i'm doing is for a local school and the kids get the profile from a server when they log on, this means that for each kid that uses the app the My Documents folder changes ( from what i can see it actually resides on the server), and to keep things simple the app will just save the data into the kids My Documents folder. Hope this helps explain a bit more about the problem.

The link to the code that I had posted should still work in that scenario
