Couldn't you just pop open Windows Explorer and use that to open any workbook
you want (just double click on the filename)?

(I don't have a suggestion for saving the files, though.)

I'd like to have much more flexibility in Excel's File Open box.

Can it be set to show a folder tree on the left with files on the right,
as in Windows Explorer ?

Or can I set Excel to use WE to open and save files instead ?

I as a professional accountant I access many files in Office each day
- nearly all with WE, as both Excel and Word are deficient on this.

I use Office 2003
