What do you mean by "store in the Active Directory"?

If under Active Directory you mean the folder in which your exe will be executed just use CFile (CStdioFile i think that class will do) and use only the name of the new folder. Don't use paths.This will make the new file in the same folder where your exe is located. Be careful with CFile:: modes

Hi Argonia,I didn't mean to say the directory in which my exe is executed.I mean to say windows Active directory services.

Is it possible to save the files in the Windows Server Active Directory.

The Windows Server Active Directory is not a filesystem. You cannot save files there.

The following code example makes the existing "C:\MyFolder" directory a public file share. Later you can set passwords to that file share and also which users can access it. Below example is taken from MSDN, you can look around for more information with the ADSI interfaces. So the idea is keep in a NTFS folder and then set AD properties. Hope this helps...

C++

IADsFileShare *pShare = NULL;
IADsContainer *pCont = NULL;
LPWSTR adsPath = L"WinNT://yourMachineName/LanmanServer";
HRESULT hr = S_OK;

hr = ADsGetObject(adsPath, IID_IADsContainer,(void**)&pCont);
if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;}

hr = pCont->Create(CComBSTR("FileShare"), CComBSTR("Public"), (IDispatch**)&pShare);

if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;}

hr = pShare->put_Path(CComBSTR("c:\\public"));

if(FAILED(hr)) {goto Cleanup;}

hr = pShare->SetInfo();

Cleanup:
    if(pCont) pCont->Release();
    if(pShare) pShare->Release();
