Relatives paths are paths to files located inside the project, and so are read-only. > This works > DIM hFile1 AS File > hFile1 = OPEN "/home/jeffjohnson/aprs/wxaprs.ini" FOR OUTPUT CREATE ...But when you use an absolute path, nothing is checked.

You need to store your file inside the user home directory. You can use the Settings class, that creates a settings file like in Windows in a standard path inside the user home directory. Or you can create your own file, as an hidden file (beginning with a dot), or as a file stored inside an hidden directory. Now the standard is defined by freedesktop.org: a configuration file is stored in ~/.config/<application>. The Settings class stored its own configuration file in ~/.config/gambas[3]/<application>.conf Regards, -- Benoit Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
