Chuck,

Thanks for your help. Based on those links I was able to come up with the following solution:

* Get the current Windows, System and Program Files directories
DECLARE INTEGER SHGetFolderPath IN SHFOLDER.DLL ;
INTEGER hwndOwner, ;
INTEGER nFolder, ;
INTEGER hToken, ;
INTEGER dwFlags, ;
STRING @ pszPath
DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN WIN32API
#DEFINE CSIDL_PROFILE 40
lcPath = REPL(CHR(0),261)
=SHGetFolderPath(GetActiveWindow(),CSIDL_PROFILE,0,0,@lcPath)

Of course, Dragan had a one line solution to the problem.

Thanks to all of you for your assistance.

Lamar
