setting default save location

[ninjaneer]

Hi
Is there a way to embed in a document template to what default directory (ie
a directory other than My Documents) it will be saved when the user clicks
'save as'.
thanks

Not without using VBA. You could intercept the FileSaveAs command and use
the ChangeFileOpenDirectory method before the Save As dialog box is shown.

However, for this to work successfully the macros in the template need to be
enabled. Otherwise the macro stored in the template will not run.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
