[RBASE-L] - Help on Help

[Dennis Fleming]

Our customers have access to a context sensitive help file using the Help and Manual software (just like RBTI!). But Explorer doesn't let you read a help.CHM file off of a server or on the internet unless you explicitly change the registry for each user. And, most of our customers have restrictions on their PC where we can't put our help file in the \Windows\Help folder.

So, the right place seems to be in the user's documents folder.
On Windows XP, Vista, and 7, is the Documents folder always named "Documents"?
Or do we have a CVAL function for that folder name. I wanted to add code to our app start up file like the following:

vHelpfile = ("C:\users\" + (cval("userid")) + "\documents")

I'm assuming it should be userid and not netuser.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis
