Re:Is there a way of using system variables (eg %homepath%) in DE7.2 or 8.5
In 7.2, only if you create a CDF.
In 8.5 you have a new function called GetCurrent() which give you a lot of features like this.
GetCurrent() and DEOS() is being expanded all the time.
In 8.5 the closest you get to %homepath% is getcurrent("MyDocuments") which will return the path to your MyDocuments.
To get %homepath% you only need to do this.
StringTo(GetCurrent("MyDocuments"),"Documents") it should return your homepath.
See here for further reference.
