How to change options for saving when old directory(network) gone
 

I have moved my computer from a network to home and cannot change the EXcel
"tools" "options" ( such as automatice Save to file) as EXcel still looks for
the old network directory. Is reconnecting to the network my only option??

I may be missing your warning but I'll take a shot as what I think you
said didn't make sense. Select: TOOLS...OPTIONS...(Select the GENERAL
Tab)...Then change the entry besides the label..."Default File
Location"

That should do it for ya.

I have tried that but every time I try to open the General tab is says
"cannot find M\data file" as i no longer have an "M" directory!! ie it won't
let me make changes because I no longer have an M directory

Try remapping the M Drive to something local then. It should free
things up. I assume you dont need the drive anylonger anyhow. Even if
you do you can always remap it later.
