Subject Re: Missing the appdata file From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Sat, 8 Oct 2022 11:55:32 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Attachment(s) Windows Explorer Menu.png Bob, You are _not_ missing the appData folder. It is there, you just can't see it because windows defaults that folder to be hidden from users. If it wasn't there then dBASE would not have successfully found the iniFile and set _app.inifile to that location. The solution is quite simple. You have to tell Windows that it's ok for you to see hidden folders. Open windows explorer (the quick method is to press, and keep pressed, the special windows button at lower left of the keyboard, then press "E" for Explorer. See the picture below. Select "View" from the top menu. Over on the right hand side you'll see a hidden items checkbox... put a check in it.  You can now see appData when you go looking for it.  Just so you know the "local" folder underneath appData is also hidden by default.
