Mac Preferences folder location - finding from VBA

[Gary Hillerson]

I'm porting a large VBA project to the Mac, and most things seem to be
working just fine.

In my Windows project, i use a .INI file to store settings. My
installer creates that file in the Windows folder, calling a system
function to retrieve the location of the Windows folder.

On the Mac, I want to store the same file as a settings file in the
System Preferences folder. How do I call into the Mac OS to find the
path to use for the preferences folder?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gary,

The MacWord experts hang out at microsoft.public.mac.office.word. I suspect
that you will have more chance of an authoritative answer if you re-post
there.

Thanks, Jonathan. I found some pointers, and maybe the right
consultant to help me with porting.
