Default File Open Location
Hi all.
I know how to setup the default folder, but as soon as you open another folder, it defaults to theat folder until you close word and re-open it. I would like to set up word 2003 so that it always opens to the same folder, no matter what folder I was in last. Is there anyway to do this? Thanks Scott Schaffer Scott Schaffer ITSA Olive Waller Zinkhan & Waller |

Default File Open Location
The behavior you describe is the default. I don't know why you're seeing
something different unless perhaps it results from keeping Outlook open using Word as your email editor, which I believe causes an instance of Word to be running in the background,. -- Suzanne S.

We don't use Outlook at all so that can't be it. Our mail client is
Groupwise from Novell. Your telling me the default is that when you go to the file open dialog, it always opens to the folder set in the Tools | Options | File Locations tab, no matter what folder you were in last? Scott Scott Schaffer ITSA Olive Waller Zinkhan & Waller |

Default File Open Location
No, I'm saying that every time you open or start Word, it defaults to the
default folder. You wrote: I know how to setup the default folder, but as soon as you open another folder, it defaults to theat folder until you close word and re-open it. I somehow misread this as "it defaults to that folder when you close Word and re-open it." The behavior you describe is by design and (AFAIK) cannot be changed (certainly not without a macro). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your response.
Your right, it can only be changed with a macro. I have discovered that if you create a macro called FileOpen () it will take the place of the usual Menu command to show the FileOpen Dialog or the shortcut Ctrl-O. The macro would look something like this: Sub FileOpen() ' ' ' Change the directory path in quotes to match which ever ' folder you would like the FileOpen Dialog to open to everytime. ChangeFileOpenDirectory "c:\test" Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen).Show End Sub I had this confirmed in one of the vba forums. Thanks for your help.
