I wanted to make a program that would install in a folder that the user chooses. Then, I want the program, which makes text files, to put it's text files in the folder that it's installed to. How would I do that?

will the text's be saved to the folder via commondialog, because if they are you can set the commondialog's default folder. ?

No, I was using random file access.

After the app is installed you can use App.Path to determine where the text files will be written.

As said before on another post, App.Path & \filename.xxx" may return errors.
See my post in thread thread222-40254 for further details.
