Name of the server

[pepelemoko]

Hello,
I want my standalone Application be installed on a windows server of a LAN. Multiple users shall be able to load preferences from
the server and to write to it.
If the application starts from a server, the specialfolderpath(??) would it start with "\\Server01 " ?
Would the URL for the folder to write in be "//Server01(or whatever the severrName is)/Documents and Settings/All Users/MyApplication"??

thanks for help

Hi,

No, the application accesses directories in the same way as any other standalone, the path starting with the drive letter.

Kind regards,

Mark

If the drive is a shared drive from the server, and its not attached to a drive letter on the local machines (and the client machines aren't thin clients which throws another whole mess in there) then don't use specialfolderpath (read up on it, it has specific uses and they relate to the local machine and user)

You'll want to specify the complete network path to the prefs file as you asked. I _THINK_ lc will be able to use a network path (use / not \ .. I think, no way to test it here) so yeah, something like //servername/sharename/path/to/folder/and/file
