Generally, this is not the correct way of doing things. The idea is to, 1. install MyConfig.XML with default data in program directory 2. your application opens MyConfig.XML in Application Data folder unique to each user, OR 3. if #2 not available, opens MyConfig.XML data in Application Data folder for All Users, OR 4. if #3 not avaiable, open the default settings from installation directory. Steps 2-4 apply per settings file or per setting, your choice. Then to save the settings, it should write, 1. to user's Application Data folder 2. to All User's Application Data folder if it has write permissions for that location. This way your application is not only correctly installed, it will work in cases where system administrator may have reconfigured your application for your computer or site install. - Adam -- Mail Etiquette ============== * Quote properly or not at all.
