Subject: [RBASE-L] - Help on Help
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
