Windows path

[jdff]

Hi, somebody know how to use a windows path instead a regular path?

Open "c:\windows\faq.txt" For Input As #1 - regular path

I mean the string above can not be used on windows 2000, beacuse windows 2000 is WNNT, there is something to pickup the regular windows folder? Like %windowsfolder%

Thanks a lot

Developers code book say's :

'Make a new project. Add a module. To the form add a command button. 

'Code:
'Add this code to the module:

Declare Function GetWindowsDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetWindowsDirectoryA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long

'Add this code to the command button:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim Junk, WinDir$
WinDir = Space(144)
Junk = GetWindowsDirectory(WinDir, 144)
WinDir = Trim(WinDir)
MsgBox "The Windows Directory Path is: " & WinDir
End Sub

peet...you've got the DCB?! Where can I get it. I've been looking for ages but where it says to download it has since gone offline (www.vbsquare.com/dev).

mmm yes I noticed... (that the site is gone...)

and yes I have it .. both the source version and compiled version..

you want the compiled version offcourse

I can send it to you ... don't think thats illigal... I think it was kind of open source code.
