Thanks, Arnaud. I must learn to read the documentation a little more carefully!

It seems the unavoidable * is here as usual: 

"If the command is called from a component, pass the optional * parameter to 
get the path of the host database. Otherwise, if you omit the * parameter, an 
empty string is always returned."

V17R5 Folder

[Jeremy Roussak via 4D_Tech]

In a component, can Folder(fk resources folder) be used to make a reference to 
the host's resources folder, not the component's resources folder? 

The analogy is with Get 4d folder(Current resources folder;*).

There’s an obvious workaround using Folder(Get 4d folder…), but it seems a 
shame to have to mix the two.
