VB controls do not save their information... you have to do that yourself.
You can output the value to a text file or save it in a cell on a worksheet
somewhere when the workbook closes and then load it back in when the
UserForm loads up (if you go with the cell idea, you can delete the cell's
content after your UserForm retrieves the value.

Hi all,

I am creating a userform for a colleague. One of my textboxes outputs the
directory that is selected to save the file after the macro is complete.
I
have also given the user a checkbox that will hopefully make the directory
to
save a "permanent" value so that the next time he opens the file, that
directory is preselected automatically. It will be permanent unless he
selects another directory and makes the checkbox true again later.

I have tried saving the UserForm1.Textbox9.Value equal to itself, but that
doesn't change the value I assign it in the userform after I close the
file
and open it again.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Matt
