Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the physical path of where the web app 
is running. 

- Is this.MapPath("Documents.xml") or Server.MapPath
("Documents.xml") suggested, and what is the difference between 
them?

- If I have two Documents.xml in different locations on the 
same server, will there be a chance the app maps wrong path?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter
