Hi Jim, Well, that's not quite the way to go about it. I did a quick Google search, and found a decent article which discusses why you shouldn't write to your program folder and then tells you have to save to your user application data folders with code examples. Try this link
Where should I store my files that my program uses/creates? http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?564256-Classic-VB-Where-should-I-store-the-files-that-my-program-uses-creates As stated this article explains how to do this properly for XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 and gives some code examples. Hope this helps. :D On 5/14/13, Jim Kitchen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > I found that the VB6 change path command chdir does not like the > %appdata% > And I am not sure how to get VB6 to ask for it to get the path to write the > game files to.
