As far as I know, that is set in the Properties for the icon, and, by default, will be App.Path (i.e. wherever your application is installed). The install program can set it to something else at the time it creates the icon, of course. --- Msged 4.00 * Origin: Ready & Determined (819)772-9277 (1:163/506) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: E5Q00000 Date: 05/20/97 From: DIK COATES Time: 06:05am \/To: SIMON COUSINS (Read 6 times) Subj: Help :) >>>> QUOTING Simon Cousins to John Aldred <<<< JA> Windows Version JA> Total Memory JA> Free Memory JA> Total Hard Drive Space (Drive selected on a drop down list) JA> Free Hard Drive Space ( " " " ") JA> Network version JA> System Name (Network) JA> Workgroup Name JA> Number of CD-Rom Drives SC> VB3 API should be worth a look....... Just a note re API calls... which I'm slowly delving into... VB3 might have some of the stuff... but VB4 (16 bit) has a lot fewer API calls than VB4 (32 bit). 32 bit has more calls on system related information/resources than 16 bit does and, therein, may be a problem. I can provide a partial answer to him as it relates to VB4, 16 bit, but the answer may have little meaning because I don't know what API calls were available in VB3 relating to the system or if there's a file that stipulates what VB3 API calls are available as well as the parameters... It's just a matter of looking at the difference between VB4 16 and 32 bit functions to see how big a difference can exist between the same version of VB4... Almost like Bill Gates on cheap drugs... One thing, in particular, is what their parameters are (something that VB is very fussy about, any error in the parameters will very likely generate a GPF, I'm finding out.) Regards Dik ...
