I wish to work in a directory chosen by a user.

At the moment, I can’t seem to get it to recognise the folder where the
user chooses a file with the “Application.GetOpenFilename” command. I
thought that this would be the easiest way, in that the user could
choose a file in the folder they wanted to work in and I’d change it
somehow – not so.

Any ideas ?

Look at the CHDIR command this will allow you change to the desired
directory prior to using GetOpenFileName command.
