	I'm trying to get sesame to print to a pdf printer instead of paper. The software I'm using is called bioPDF and it requires that a 'runonce.ini' file be written to the users local APP folder just prior to printing. In sesame, client/server confi I am trying this line, but it's not writing anything: Fileoverwrite("%LocalAppData%\Temp\Test.txt", "Test message") However, this works fine: Fileoverwrite("C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Local\Temp\Test.txt", "Test message") Is this a proper way for sesame to access the User's local Apps folder? Thanks, Steve

	Hello Steve, Try Code Var vAppDataPath as String vAppDataPath = @GetLocalEnvVar("LocalAppData") Fileoverwrite(vAppDataPath + "\Temp\Test.txt", "Test message") -Ray
