Thanks Naomi

oShell = CREATEOBJ('Shell.Application')
oFolder = oShell.NameSpace(0x5)
cMyDocs = oFolder.Self.Path

works like a charm. It's great to find another very useful tecnique from our friend Ed Rauh. I use several other snippets of his in every app. What a great contributor to UT and FoxPro!

Thanks for pointng me in the right direction.
