Wow. Thank you. MapInfo and Bill Wemple deserve that. I appreciate your attention to my little problem. Many other people responded with the answer too, but Bill went the extra mile. I will be up and naming views in no time.

I've provided the source code below as well. If the ApplicationDirectory$() is not acceptable either, you may want to use the GetFolderPath$() function to get a path to a user profile location and put the nviews.txt file there. (See attached file: NVIEWS.MB)(See attached file: nviews.MBX)(See attached file: NVPROJ.MBP)(See attached file: AUTO_LIB.MBO) Bill, Would you please add this to directionsmag.com download site for others who may run into this issue. Thanks, -Bill Mail List: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: on 01/19/2004 03:30 PM CST To: "MapInfo-L (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: MI-L Named Views MBX Greetings, I recently migrated to XP. I lost all of my named views on the way. No big deal, just recreate. Problem--Named views stores the txt file in C:\Winnt directory. The wonderful IS people will not let us save to the C drive (main hard drive). I look at the Nview.mbx in notepad and it is coded. How do I change the file direction of the nview mbx if I can't even read it. Am I missing the obvious?
