I'd recommend not using that. By default, only Administrators and Power Users can write there. If you write your log there you'll be preventing non-admin users using any application that uses your DLL.

One thought is to log to c:\temp but I don't want to hard code that so I'd like to know what's a good way to find out what the c:\temp directory is on a windows system. Any thoughts anyone has on other places to log to are welcome. I suppose the event log is an option but I'd have to discuss that with my partner on my project as logging to a text file is his idea. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
