That record is on the host application drive that is connecting to the database server. if the user logs into the database from another computer.. the file paths will not be correct because they were relative to the other computer. I noticed there is a URL as part of the folder item. Is that a path that I can / should use? _________________ 6502 Assembler on Steroids Top griffitts Post subject: Re: FolderItems and URLs..Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 12:17 pm Joined: Mon Oct 16, 2006 4:06 pm Posts: 37 Location: Fort Worth, TX If I have a set directory hierarchy that the files need to be in, ie: /app files/images/img.jpg, I store that part in the db. Then I keep the user's path to those files in a local preference file, ie: /user's path to app files/. So you read the preference file, read the db record, put them together and you get: /user's path to app files/app files/images/img.jpg.
