Jan,
And just to be sure you know, (which you probably do), if it shows up in the command prompt SET command, you can capture it with the ENVAL() function:
SET VAR vHomePath = (ENVVAL('HOMEPATH'))Bill

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Capturing the path of My Documents
What about capturing the values of the Windows environment variables HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, or USERPROFILE?
To see what I mean, go to a Windows command window and run "set"

Hey all! I read with great interest Emmitt's program to check for a Network folder, but I have a further challenge. Is there a way to determine the user's default My Documents directory? Chkfile will not check subdirectories, so I cannot capture the value of the full directory path to My Documents. Just trying to make things simpler for my users - having the Save to default to their Documents directory so they won't have to search for it, or heaven forbid, make 2 extra mouse clicks!!! Thanks for any input!!!
