Hi,
I am using webutil to extract queried data to clients desktop
currently I have windows2000 for me and solution i have is

o_clientinfo := Webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name;

cout := 'C:\Documents and Settings\'||o_clientinfo||'XYZ.csv' ;

as hard coded path

but the problem is we have various users and the home path would be deferent and some of they have windows vista or linux OS

so My question is do we have any utility or some solution to get user desktop path ?

please reply soon

I assume you will have to look in the registry.

Does Linux OS have a desktop?

hi,

Yes Linux OS has Desktop

but I don't want to hard code the path

I just wanna get ti using some function or something
so I will be dynamic independent of client using my form
and then the file I am creating will get generated on client machines desktop..

please advice

You have mentioned 'webutil'. I have mentioned 'registry'. Search this forum for both and you will probably get your answer.
