Re: SpecialFolderPath in standalone
Thanks Richard and Mark. Further investigation following your suggestions shows that the problem is not what I thought. In fact the special folder path stuff works fine, it's the XML stuff that builds the prefs that's screwing up. Since it works fine in the IDE , and I'm including the XML library in the standalone build, I'm still mystified...
