_SAMPLES System Variable
Contains the path of the directory in which the Microsoft Visual FoxPro samples are installed.
_SAMPLES = cPath
Parameters
- cPath
Specifies the complete path to the directory containing the Visual FoxPro samples.
Remarks
By default, _SAMPLES contains the path of the directory containing the Visual FoxPro samples. Visual FoxPro samples are installed when you perform a Full installation of the MSDN (Microsoft Developer's Network) library, or you perform a Custom installation of the MSDN library and you specify to install the Visual FoxPro samples. If you don't install the Visual FoxPro samples, _SAMPLES contains the empty string.
The path that _SAMPLES contains is read from an MSDN registry key in the Windows Registry. If this registry key doesn't exist (for example, if you didn't install the samples), _SAMPLES contains the empty string.
You can also specify a path to the samples directory with the Samples Directory item in the File Locations tab of the Options dialog box. If you use the Options dialog box to specify a path to the samples directory, _SAMPLES contains the path you specify. If you choose Set As Default, the path is saved for subsequent Visual FoxPro sessions.
HOME(2) returns the path contained in _SAMPLES.
