Set default directory using wdDialogCopyFile

[John]

Using the method outlined on the mvp site to allow a user to browse and select a folder

With Dialogs(wdDialogCopyFile
If .Display <> 0 The
MsgBox "You chose " & .Director
Els
MsgBox "Dialog cancelled
End I
End Wit

Is there a way to specify a default folder the dialog opens to rather than having it open to whatever folder was selected last? I'd like to have the window always start at c:\ if possible

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
John

Hi John

You can use the method ChangeFileOpenDirectory of the application.object:
Application.ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\"
or simply:
ChangeFileOpenDirectory "C:\"


Cheers,

Martin

Hi John

You can set the .Directory property to the folder you want, before you call
the .Display method.
