Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show

[Mark Orenstein]

I am using Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show in a macro and would like to
prefill the SaveIn directory in the dialog box to be something other the My
Documents. I have tried ChangeFileOpenDirectory and ChDir, but neither
seems to cause the directory that I want (c:\LegalForms\Data) to
consistently appear.

Any help would be appreciated. I have little knowledge of VBA.

If you want c:\LegalForms\Data to be the default SaveIn directory
always, you can just change it manually (once) in Tools-> Options->
File Locations-> Documents.

If you want to change it programmatically for each session, you
can use code like:

Options.DefaultFilePath(Path:=wdDocumentsPath) = "c:\LegalForms\Data"

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = "C:\LegalForms\Data\"
.Show
End With
