I need to find out the current user's path to his/her Desktop and use it
within an Access module. Is this possible? We use Windows Vista and Office
2007.

I hope sombody can give me a hint.

Use either the special folders api

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.10%29.aspx

or

Environ("%DESKTOP%")

Caveat: The environment approach can be easily redirected to any folder
by the user.
