Windows Temp Directory

[Sparhawk]

Hi, I am trying to find out the windows tempoary directory by using the API function GetTempPath, but all I am getting are a bunch of strenge number and an empty string. Does anyone know how to use that function and if not, is there any other way to solve my problem?

Sure.

Private Declare Function GetTempPath Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempPathA" (ByVal nBufferLength As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim lRet As Long
    Dim strBuffer As String
    
    strBuffer = Space(125)
    lRet = GetTempPath(Len(strBuffer), strBuffer)
    If lRet Then MsgBox "Temp Directory: " & Left(strBuffer, lRet)
End Sub
