Peter, You know Chuck is right - letting user's store stuff in Resources is problematic. I'm working on something right now where I came across this. In my case I'm letting users created button icons. Such files can only be referenced by buttons only when they are in the Resources folder. But the resources folder can be rebuilt especially if you have your database packaged or on 4D server and the user would 'loose' their files. I decided to use the Active 4D folder to store a backup of the files in question because I don't want the user to have to think about it. On startup the database looks there and copies any missing files to the local Resources folder.
Perhaps you could do something similar? This would allow users to store their files wherever they like, so long as the database knows about it, and check the files are synced at startup.
