>The cAttachmentDir does exist. But this customer, when the above code fires, sees the "desktop" as the folder. I presume that the SET DEFAULT TO (cAttachmentDir) fails and his SET("DIRECTORY") points to the Desktop folder. When I take over his PC, via GoToMeeting, and enter the application with my password, the default is set to the cAttachmentDir.

Some ideas, no particular order:

- Does your app do anything different when you sign in with your password vs using his password?
- Is he using a desktop icon to start the app, with the "Start in:" property on the Shortcut tab set to the desktop? And maybe you're starting the app in a different way?
- You could add some logging code to get a better idea of what's actually happening
