OS is Win2K. Problem 1: SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() returns the error 'A parameter is incorrect' when asked about CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS. Problem 2: SHGetFolderPath() is apparently the newer function to call from Win2K onward but when I try the linker can't find it. Curiously ShGetSpecialFolderLocation() can correctly return the path for CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS. Presumably I'm doing something silly somewhere but as of yet I haven't worked out what it is - can anyone enlighten me? -- Andrue Cope [TeamB] [Bicester, Uk] http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html
