GetEnvironmentVariable

[gcarolan]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a System Variable so I can add on another string. I am using GetEnvironmentVariable and it works for most of the System Variables but not the one I want. There is a User Variable with the same name but its in Block Capitals while the System Variable isnt, could that cause the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

The System Variable I needed was alot longer than the others, so I had to increase the space$() for the 2nd Parameter (ByVal lpBuffer As String) and also increase the 3rd parameters (nSize As Long) lenght.

It could be the problem, not exactly sure. But the 1st parameter of GetEnvironmentVariable is case insensitive. I think it will return the first variable that it found. So in this case I think you better use GetEnvironmentStrings instead and search the string environment manually from the results

Hope it helps
