>In the VFP5 application, the function HOME() gives "C:\FPW\" and SYS(2004) gives "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\" I guess it's because VFP500.DLL is in that directory.

>I'm asking this question because I want to SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS in the VFP app and I cannot locate FOXTOOLS because it's in the directory where the vfp app resides and that dir is not in the current dir (C:\FPW) nor in the VFP path.

>I know that if I place FOXTOOLS.FLL in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 I will find it but isn't it bad practice writing in that directory?

>When the users will install on their PC, will they need administrator rights to write there?
