Thanks Kenneth. I didn't know how to change the pathing now I will be able to do so, but does this mean that the whole jing-bang of other directories like preferences of the user will still be stored in the original location or are they all movable too?

>Personally, I don't save application data in My Documents. I hate that MS always wants to think for you. You could change the location of My Documents to be the same on both PCs.

I beleive it was as simple as right clicking on My Documents and changing it under Properties. Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll double check how I did it when I get home. HIH Kenny

>>I have an application using My Documents and I have two sets of the same data but one is on a 98 and another is on W2K, residing in My Documents. The path to My Documents is hard coded in the W2K machine c:\Documents and Setting ......\My Documents\DirName\FileName.ext now the same data on the 98 machine is just c:\My Documents\DirName\FileName.ext. I doubt if the application will be able to use env. vars.
