Global Mask Repository

The global mask repository is stored in a text file called CustomMask.kwd. The file is located under the system common application data folder (i.e., CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA). The location of this folder varies across different operating systems and versions of DataFlex. For example, under Windows Vista, the file path would be:

C:\ProgramData\Data Access Worldwide\DataFlex\{version}\Studio Data\CustomMask.kwd

The location of the common application data folder on your operating system can be determined programmatically by calling the SHGetFolderPath Windows API function.
