Serge,

The folder path/name is ok (I have a multi language PC!).
I have tried C:\users\Administrateur\ and others folders not in Gebruiker : no problem.
Now, I see a padlock on Gebruiker.
However, I can read/write in the files and subfolders of the folder Gebruiker.
But the access seems blocked (only) for my application : strange!
I have tried to unlock Gebruiker in the properties, without result : it remains locked.
I continue to search for the why.

Start application in "Run as Administrator" mode and check if you have access to this folder.

Hi edk,

I have already tried : it is the same.
He return 'My computer' and not the initpath.

To which the user corresponds to the name "Gebruiker"? Will it be: Default, Default User, All Users, Public or is it called a local account in Windows?
What is the operating system?

Getfolder() returns the initpath for all folders (and subfolders) except for the folder Gebruiker and its contents.
I have tried to unlock Gebruiker (10 minuts!) but the padlock stay there.

Strange. It must be a naming problem. Edward, what do you think?

Could this "locked" symbol be pointing to something?

It seems to me that, the padlock is not the reason for this behavior of the GetFolder function here.

The C:\USER\Gebruiker folder is in this case a profile folder.

In order for GetFolder to work with this folder, it should be possible to display the profile folder in the window.

Try this code, it works on Windows 10 for me:

Code: Select all

#include "hmg.ch"
#define plik_ini "demo.ini"

PROCEDURE MAIN()
Local cPath:=""

BEGIN INI FILE (plik_ini) 
	GET cPath SECTION "Main" ENTRY "Path" DEFAULT ""
END INI

IF EMPTY(cPath)
	BEGIN INI FILE (plik_ini)
		SET SECTION "Main" ENTRY "Path" TO "C:\"
	END INI
ENDIF


DEFINE WINDOW main_form ;
	AT 110,220 ;
	WIDTH 335 ;
	HEIGHT 260 ;
	TITLE 'Test';
	MAIN; 
	NOMAXIMIZE ;
	NOSIZE
	
	DEFINE MAIN MENU
		DEFINE POPUP "&File"
			MENUITEM "&Get Folder" ACTION GetFld()
			MENUITEM "E&xit" ACTION Main_form.Release
		END POPUP
	END MENU
	
END WINDOW 

Main_form.center
Main_form.activate

RETURN

//--------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNCTION GetFld()
Local cPath:="" 
BEGIN INI FILE (plik_ini) 
	GET cPath SECTION "Main" ENTRY "Path" DEFAULT ""
END INI

msgbox('InitPath for GetFolder(): ' + cPath )

cPath :=  GetFolder ( 'Get Folder' , cPath, , .T. /* [<lNewFolderButton>] */, .T. /* [<lIncludeFiles>] */, CSIDL_DRIVES + CSIDL_PROFILE /* [<nCSIDL_FolderType>] */ )

IF EMPTY(cPath)
	RETURN Nil
ENDIF

msgbox('Selected Path by GetFolder(): ' + cPath)

BEGIN INI FILE (plik_ini)
	SET SECTION "Main" ENTRY "Path" TO cPath
END INI

RETURN

Good to know!

Thank you very much for your help.
