Chip, The parameter 3 is for the "4D Client database folder" For which doesn't exist on 4D Server
That said, using a method whose attribute is Execute On Server, works great for something like this. $folder:=EOS_Get_4D_Folder (Active 4D Folder) ************************************* // EOS_Get_4D_Folder C_LONGINT($1) C_TEXT($0) $0:=Get 4D folder($1) ************************************* Or use something fancy like Kirk's soloution. ;-) Randy Engle XC2 Software LLC -----Original Message----- From: 4D_Tech [mailto:4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com] On Behalf Of Chip Scheide Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2016 12:52 PM To: 4D iNug Technical <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> Subject: v13 - how to get directory path on server from client I tried: method1 <>Directory_path:=get 4d folder(3) method2 execute on server("method1";12345) get process variable(<> Directory_path;$Server_path) but the variable $Server_path is blank.
