Hello folks,
My platform specific saving data script now works fine.... thanks for the advice so far.
However, I was thrown a bit because Specialfolderpath (26) on my Vista machine points to a folder ..../appdata/roaming
As far as I can make out, if a user is logged into a server, this directory is saved there, and will be accessible whatever machine is subsequently used to log in. I have to say I don't quite understand how that would work in practice, because presumably each machine could have a different variant of appdata/roaming......
Apart form not quite getting what is going on with the roaming thing, my questions are:
1/ Does Specialfolderpath (26) serve different purposes on other Win versions?
2/ Does it matter that a standalone for a single user & non networked computer is saving information in the ..../appdata/roaming directory?
Thanks
David Glasgow
