I need help making a config screen for a code saving program that i am working on. The program is supposed to save the codes on the comp in form of .doc
That part works fine, the next part however i need help with.
How do i make it so when someone else dls it, it know where to save it (i have code that save it to MY computer, and that is not the same on every computer) I am thinking a config screen, but where would THAT be saved to....

Thanks

If I get you correctly, You want to save programs configuration somewhere, but You don't know where it will end up?

Try something like this:

CODE

Dim cfgdir As String
Dim cfgfile As String
cfgdir = App.Path
If Right(cfgdir, 1) <> "\" Then cfgdir = cfgdir & "\"
cfgfile = "my.cfg"

This code will save 'my.cfg' file in your programs folder, where ever it is. Hope it helps.
