Default ActiveWorkbook.Save saves to wrong directory

bruce2g expressed precisely :
I have the same problem. We have a bunch of spreadsheets, and from
time to time save them all by looping through workbook.save

Unfortunately, every once in a while, a spreadsheet will be saved to
the wrong directory! I don't think the user could have done it -
they're not sophisticated enough to do a 'save as' and look through all
the options.

What I've done as a workaround has been to do a saveas and explicitly
say what the folder is. I also had to inhibit the message about
replacing a file with application.displayalerts = false before the
saveas and .. = true afterwards.

I think there's a bug with windows 7 and excel 2007 that causes this,
I'd like to know if anyone else has encountered this problem.

<FWIW
Have you considered storing the path where the file should be saved in
CustomProperties of the workbook? That would allow you to read this
into your SaveAs proc and no worries about getting it written to the
correct location.
