Windows and SpecialFolder problems

[Tim Jones <tjmac@tolisgroup.com>]

Hi Folks,

A while back, there was a discussion about SpecialFolder and family  
on Windows systems.  IIRC, the problem was that certain combinations  
of SpecialFolder were returning NIL when the path definitely existed.
Was a solution ever uncovered?

I't trying to create a text file in the users home directory, but the  
following always returns Nil:
        Dim fo As FolderItem

        fo = SpecialFolder.UserHome.Child(tempName) /// Nil here...
        tos = fo.CreateTextFile

Have I totally gone braindead on a Tuesday, or is there something  
wrong in the compiler?
Thanks,
Tim
