Hello,
I have run my application(installed with install shiel) in the AppData
directory of Vista, to do a try, but it stops when it tries to create a file
in this directory.
My question is in which directory my I put mine AppDatas because I must
create read and modify some .dbf files and other txt files.
I tried personnal folder of user and had the same problem.
Could show me the way please Because I would use the
GetSpecialFolderLocation function but I don't want to do mistake in the
choice of CLSID......,yes I have many lines to change in my application and
would it run on Vista and XP
I thank you by advance
Patrick

need to create your own subfolder inside of it instead.

Look at CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA.
We create a new directory and give Read/Write permissions to the users.
This is where we store global datafiles, i.e. databases, config files, etc.

Thank you very much,but I have a problem with development.I use BCB6Pro on
Vista my applications folder is in C: ("C:\ProgsPerso") this application the
project and other files are in ("C:\ProgPerso\OptiEssai") subfolder.
My application creates folders in its own directory
"C:\ProgPerso\OpriEssai\subfolders" and stocks .dbf files but when my
application tries to open files created in its on directory I have "File
does not exist" error message. I look with explorer and the file is created
and contains good values.
I do'nt understand why
If you can say to me please it will be fine.
I thank you again
