Save Text file to "My Documents"

Ben
Hello,

I need to save some information into a text file.
For this, I use :

FileOpen(1, "c:\MyFile.txt", OpenMode.Output)
For I = 0 To iCpt - 1
WriteLine(1, myDs.Tables(0).Rows(I).Item("MyText"))
Next
FileClose(1)

This is running...

BUT I would like to save the text file into "My Documents" of user whos run
application.
--> In place of : FileOpen(1, "c:\MyFile.txt", OpenMode.Output)
--> I would like : FileOpen(1,"c:\Documents and settings\[USER]\My
Documents", OpenMode.Output)

How know ?

Thanks

Ben,

try

to get that path.
