Creating Subdirectory in "Default User" App Data
Hi NickHK,
Yes, you are right, but sometimes, I am a little lazy.

As I was reminded the other, you should not use the numerals for the
Environ
variables as the can return different values between computers.
Environ("APPDATA") will always be the same.

Hi pagates,
MkDir Environ(2) & "\Our Company"

Hello All,
We have an Excel Add-In that creates an INI file in a subfolder under
the
Application Data section of the current user ("C:\Documents and
Settings\CURRENTUSER\Application Data\Our Company\Our
Product\OurOptions.INI"). If the Add-In is used in a background
process,
it
attempts to create the folders under the Default User (usually
"C:\Documents
and Settings\Default User\Application Data"). The problem is, it
doesn't
have permission to do so, and hangs the process. However, if the "Our
Company" folder exists, it does have permission and creates the "Our
Product"
folder with no problem.
Does anybody know of a way to create the "Our Company" folder
automatically
under the Default User's Application Data path?
Thanks,
PAGates
