Access and Terminal Services (1 Viewer)

[DeonO]

Hi all,
I am trying to write files to the "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp" folder.
It works fine as long as the code runs on the local machine. As soon as the application is run from the Terminal Server, the %USERPROFILE% variable is empty and the write action fails. I have read somewhere that this is a limitation in Access, but surely there must be a way of overcoming this?

Any suggestions?

Much appreciated
Deon

don't think it is a limitation per se of Access, just the fact you want the localappdata on terminal server

I found this works for me when the code is run from the terminal server

Set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
FolderName = wshell.expandenvironmentstrings("%LOCALAPPDATA%") & "\Temp"
Set wshell = Nothing

Thanks - this seems to be working.
