Where to save

Friends,

I using C5 in my application. I want my tps file was backup in any
place/folder that we can choose.How to make a simple program to save
that ?
I want the directory to save is variable. It means, the user can save
it in where he wants.
Like save to C: D: or F:\backup

Thanks in advance
Erwin

You're probably best off saving the information in an INI file. Look at
PUTINI and GETINI. Either use a global variable as the NAME() attribute
of your backup files and make sure that variable is "primed" (from the
ini information) before any OPEN, or use PROP:Name to set it (again
before you open it).

Jon,

I still new in Clarion. And I usually using standalone exe application.
so I am really not understand to using INI file this time.
Maybe you have simple methode, like Click a button of backup, then we
can choice where to save.

Thank You

Look at Filedialog in the help file.  This will allow the user to browse the
directory tree and select a subdirectory.
