>>>I don't know if you had a problem with getting this to work because of using information in the API section. Unfortunately, it's not correct, and there's no way for me to correct it. It shows

lcBuffer = SPACE(255)

>>>lnNameLength = GetSystemDirectory(@lcBuffer, 260)
>>>lcSystemDir = LEFT(lcBuffer, lnNameLength)

The value returned does not include the terminating null character.
