Hi Scott, ok, that's what I thought. And what do you do if the user can save data in your app / stack? Do you separate the app without saving feature, written to program files and other stacks with saving, writing to app data? Tiemo

For data storage it's out for Vista (by default). Can be done under XP if the user is the admin but you can't rely on that anymore (we used to get away with it and shouldn't have been able to). Vista will write your data out to virtual storage if UAC is turned on (default). Best to write to My Documents or one of several folders under Documents and Settings. In Rev My Documents is handy and is suported by the SpecialFolders function.
