    Resolved App.Path and AppData Question

    I would like to use App.Path and Environ("APPDATA") to define the paths necessary to reach resource files used in my VB6 application program. This procedure has been strongly recommended by all the senior members on this forum and I have dutifully written the code to do so.

    I now have an important question regarding this issue. Suppose the paths to these directories contain directory names containing Asian characters such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. I imagine this could easily happen on computers using different language settings with Asian characters.

    Is the program going to be able to handle these strings? Or, will I generate error 76 (Path Not Found) or some other error (such as error 5 - Illegal Function Call) whenever I try to access the files for read/write operations?
