In version 10.1d of the application, the network path not work

In version 10.1d of the application, the network path to the database does not work...





It is also not possible to use environment variables in the path. The program does not follow the path containing the environment variables, it creates a folder with the name of the variable.

Example:
path in the registry

Sorry, two questions in one thread...

Huh, I thought that using a REG_EXPAND_SZ would solve this issue, but it seems not.  Try this build:

https://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/stickiesEnv.zip

It's got an extra API call which expands strings like %username%.

At the same time though, I was able to the Path value to a UNC share - I used "\\snas\data\shared\%username%" and Stickies put the data file into that place.  Does that path in your screenshot have a directory which starts with a period in it?

In the attached version, the problem with environment variables is fixed! 
Thanks for the great program and active support!

That's right, in the folder names of the path to the bases there is a folder whose name begins with a dot - .Profile
I thought that this would not be a problem - it is allowed by the file system... Thanks for the tip, I will take it into account in the future.

unfortunately, the path to the network folder does not work for me. Although I specified it without periods in the folder name and without using environment variables.


The specified path exists. The program in this folder even creates an activity.log file with the following content:

Code:

02.04.2024 10:44:15 [ERR_FS  ] Access is denied.

Is it possible that there really is a permissions problem?  I've just retried using a UNC path here:

\\snas\data\users\tom.revell\bob\

Both with and without the trailing backslash, Stickies runs, creates the folder, and puts an initial data file in there?  Might it be a permission problem on the network drive in your case?
