Trey that's exactly what I want to do. If they install the app and move the data to a different drive or directory, I want them to be prompted once and then not be prompted unless they change it again. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with .ini files. What should be included in it and when and how do I call it? Thanks for your help

You could use an XML file instead of an INI file to keep your system data. Of course you could also keep it in a DBF. And the Registry is also an option.
