<p>You could store the INI file in the user's document directory. Use the Windows API call to fetch the location.<br>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi All.
<div>I have an app that I will be running from a server location. However, I want the app. to read an ini file that is located in a folder on a client machine.</div>
<div>A Shortcut to the app on the server and the ini file will live in a folder on the client machine, but I cant work out how to get the app, when its run via the shortcut, to read the ini file on the client machine.</div>
<div>Anyone know how to go about doing this?</div>
<div>I have thought about dropping the INI and transferring the settings to a database with a row for each machine that connects, but before I get that carried away, I just wanted to see if someone had any ideas to do the above with the ini file.</div>
<div>The reason I want an ini for each computer is about settings. Not all machines have the same settings etc.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks, Jeremy</div>
