Jan I would just elect to use the UNC for everyone, provided the UNC path to the home folder is the same (the only difference is the home folder name). The other way would be to just create a table with the user name and path to the home folder. The other problem would be if you are accessing different databases it would be a bear to keep up with the changes so to help with that create one CSV or XLS file and keep it updated and copy it to a temp folder. Create a TempTable with username and path it load it from the copied file.
Buddy From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jan johansen Sent: Thursday, February 1, 2018 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBASE-L] - File location My turn! I need to make sure external documents are placed in the proper directory. On the surface it's pretty easy. However I have been running into some obstacles. 1. UNC/Mapped drive - machines on the network either use a UNC connection or a mapped drive make it difficult to figure out the "home" directory 2. It appears (only occasionally) that the (CVAL('CURRDIR')) returns a directory other that RBase if you have used the file explorer tool. So I'm kind of looking for a fool proof way of making sure I have the proper file location. Suggestions?
