    <p>Use the Windows <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SHGetFolderPath()</a> function to get the correct directories.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> To reply to your other question, added in the edit: Where to put the sample files of your application does very much depend on whether your application is installed for a single user or for all users, and whether the person installing the application can be assumed to be the one who uses it.</p> <p>If your program is to be used by multiple users on a system, copying stuff into "My Documents" is not going to work - the files would be accessible only for the user installing the application. Worse, if the only user of your application needed to install as Administrator, then [s]he will not have access to the files either. So unless you are fairly certain that there is only one user for your application, and they have sufficient permissions to install the application using their own account, don't use "My Documents".</p> <p>IMO you should install sample files into the directory identified by <em>CSIDL&#95;COMMON&#95;APPDATA</em>. This will give you exactly one copy for all users, and since you want every user to see the original, unaltered sample files all users should consider them read-only. In fact, your setup program should probably make them read-only. Opening one of the samples will work for all users, but as soon as they try to save their modifications the application should detect that the file is read-only, and open the "Save As" dialog, pointing to "My Documents" or suitable directory inside. That will also keep all user modifications when the installer updates the sample files later on.</p> <p>It is of course somewhat more difficult for the users to find the sample files. You could add a link to the samples folder to the start menu group of your application, so that access to the files is fast, and of course you should properly document everything.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
