setting location of files won't "stick"
When I set the file locations in word to a specific drive, it holds (as it
should). However, in Excel, when I do the same thing, it doesn't stick. I'm trying to set both to the same location, but Excel won't cooperate. Is this a bug in Excel? ... is there a work around or fix? Thanks. Diana |

Are you saying ToolsOptionsGeneralDefault File Location Doesn't work?

Well ... to answer your question as I see it ... the drive that's selected
works. It opens the files to that location when I startup excel but I want to change the default location. When I type a different drive letter (on a network), then restart Excel, it keeps going back to the previous defaulted drive. I can't make it change. This is entirely frustrating. If you have any ideas ... I'd like to hear them. Diana "Bob Tarburton" wrote: Are you saying ToolsOptionsGeneralDefault File Location Doesn't work?

double backslash preceding the network is all I have for you.
You were probably already doing that. On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 13:07:02 -0800, "Cowtoon" wrote: Well ... to answer your question as I see it ... the drive that's selected works.

Yes ... I tried that, as well as the unc path and neither helped ... bummer!
I'm totally miffed by this one. Thanks though ... it was worth a try. Diana "Bob Tarburton" wrote: double backslash preceding the network is all I have for you. You were probably already doing that.
