I don't have any code written as of yet but here is what I'm trying to do...Suppose 'JOHN' is the user of computer 1 and I wrote an application that accessed his ccount...particularly some folder within his 'JOHN' name....obviously when I code it I would use the 'JOHN' name...PROBLEMBut what if I want to use the same application on another computer with another user's name (eg. JILL), is there a code I can use to generalize the 'user'?, for example...%accountuser% or something like that?
