Re: [U2] windows/dos my documents environment variable
Thank you all for your help, however this subroutine from 2005 actually
works perfectly:
SUBROUTINE ATGETDOCPATH(PATH)
* Get path to My Documents folder using AccuTerm Script
SCR='InitSession.Output MyDocPath() Chr$(13)'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'End Sub'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'Private Declare Function SHGetFolderPath Lib

tok,ByVal dw,ByVal Path$)'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'Function MyDocPath() As String'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'Dim path As String'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'On Error Resume Next'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'path=String$(1000,0)'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'SHGetFolderPath 0,5,0,0,path'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'path=Left$(path,InStr(path,Chr$(0))-1)'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'If Len(path) Then'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'If Right$(path,1)\ Then path=path \'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'End If'

Subject: Re: [U2] windows/dos my documents environment variable
I don't think it works if the user moves their documents/My documents
anyway so it's probably not the best place to be dropping files. I've
always avoided it unless it's a .net app where I can use
Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments, even then I've only used it once
or twice for unimportant things.
%HOMEPATH% actually goes to \Documents and Settings\{username} not
{drive}:\Documents and Settings\{username} which is why it's not working
the same as %USERPROFILE%.
Make a network share and use \\server\share\%username% instead =).

Re: [U2] windows/dos my documents environment variable
From: Dave Laansma Thank you all for your help, however this subroutine from 2005 actually works perfectly: SUBROUTINE ATGETDOCPATH(PATH) SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'Private Declare Function SHGetFolderPath Lib shfolder.dll Alias SHGetFolderPathA (ByVal hwnd,ByVal fldr,ByVal tok,ByVal dw,ByVal Path$)' Executing kernel functions is a bit extreme for something this basic. The script above will work for AccuTerm users on the client, not on the server. If that's what you want and you have AccuTerm, great. Otherwise someone will need to code an executable wrapper around shfolder.dll. Again - a bit extreme given the multitude of simpler solutions. For info on Windows special folders (that's what they're called) and environment variables, I recommend people Google around to sites that provide Windows-specific info.

Re: [U2] windows/dos my documents environment variable
I don't think it works if the user moves their documents/My documents
anyway so it's probably not the best place to be dropping files. I've
always avoided it unless it's a .net app where I can use
Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments, even then I've only used it once
or twice for unimportant things.
%HOMEPATH% actually goes to \Documents and Settings\{username} not
{drive}:\Documents and Settings\{username} which is why it's not working
the same as %USERPROFILE%.
Make a network share and use \\server\share\%username% instead =).

Re: [U2] windows/dos my documents environment variable
I was about to bring that up... This pc for example has been set by group
policy to have My Documents point to D:\ for re-imaging reasons. Yet no
environmental variable shows that. BTW, type SET by itself at a command
prompt to see which env. variables are set - they do vary amount versions of
Windows.
Also correct on the %HOMEPATH%, you would need %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Documents\
for the full path, unless the above applies...
