Hi Dennis, I couldn't say, since I have stayed away from Vista and have not yet moved up to 7 (would be nice!)
If you go to a cmd prompt and type SET, you will see a list of all the environment variables. Pick the one that gets you closest to where you are going and grab that with ENVVAL and hack from there. It is a good Idea to test on all versions of windows you are likely to encounter, so your system is robust. Have Fun, Dennis ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 12:49 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Help on Help Dennis, Wouldn't it be just "Documents" on Vista and higher?

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.
