Environ("appdata")

[Pablo Cardellino]

Hi,
I have a template that runs fine in my PC, with Word 2003. When I run
install it into another PC, with Word 2003 too, this line triggers an error:

path = Environ("appdata") & "\Corretor AOLP"

The error is about library not found (my friend didn't give me the right
error message)

Does anybody know how could I solve the problem, getting the desired
path, of course.

Thanks in advance,

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but (if it's what I think it is) yeah
environment variables can be "iffy" at times. To find system paths, it's *always*
best to ask the system. <g> You might find this useful...

Hi Karl, I have imported the CSysFolders.cls file into my VBA project
(within the .dot file) and I tried to use it this way:

Dim sf As New CSystemFolders
Path = sf.Path(CSIDL_APPDATA) & "\Corretor AOLP"

But an error occured: I was not possible to find the project or library, as
the script reached Space$ at this line:

Buffer = Space$(MAX_PATH)

I have never used a class before, so I guess the error must be mine. Would
you, or someone else, help me solve the problem?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

You're not making it easy to help, I'm afraid. What was the error? Specifically.

I just created a new document, imported the class file, and added this code to the
TheDocument module:

Public Sub Test()
Dim sf As New CSystemFolders
Debug.Print sf.Path(CSIDL_APPDATA) & "\Corretor AOLP"
End Sub

It worked just fine. You'll need to provide the steps required to reproduce your
situation, in order to solve it. Or at the least, a better description of what
happens.

I made a typo, I wrote "I" instead of "It": the error was that *it* was
not possible to find the project or library. But the function that
trigger the error is not from your class: is the function Space(), from
the Strings library.

There are 2 situations: in my PC everything work. In most others too,
but there are some PCs in which, I don't know why, it doesn't. The error
is the same and I have noticed today that it's not related to your class
at all. As the error has nothing to do with your class, I have explained
it in another thread, with subject "To declare the library when using a
function?" (within your class, the error was triggered at firs by
Space$(), but if the scripts go ahead it happens again with all Strings
library functions.
Thank you for the support

Pablo

Sounds nasty. I'll look at the other thread.
