Using environment variables is usually not a good idea. In any case, you can get them via the following registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment Also
GetEnvironmentVariable().

I want to solve a problem that I have; my main problem is to execute my program outside my PC. As i use SQL SERVER 2000, I usually change manually in my program this variable : dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE,OLESTR("sem1"); "sem1" is the name of my sQl SERVER 2000 path. Now I need to replace this path by a variable so that if I install my program any where, I will put the environnement variable and i my program I use it because the name of this variable must be the same.like : dbinit.AddProperty(DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE,VARPATH); VARPATH is an environnement variable. How can I remplace "sem1" by an environnemnt variable ? How to to do it I learn my self -- modified at 10:25 Tuesday 17th January, 2006

Like David said: Search the MSDN for GetEnvironmentVariable(). If you dont want to use it, look for Registry Access Methods and use the path he mentioned. You also could use a higher-level file access which evaluates the "Command Line"-Variables and use that instead. Or, if your app is merely a test and not productive, you could pass the name as a parameter (e.g. "myExe -server=sem1"). Using that approach, you could then write a batch file which gets the "-server="-parameter from an environment variable. Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.

You can use 'GetComputerName' and 'GetUserName' to retrive name of computer and user name resp. Set/GetEnvironmentVariable API should help you work with the environment variables. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
