- Excel 3.0 doesn't set the default folder correctly under System 7.0. It always
- defaults to the folder containing the application.
-
- Place the "Set Default Folder" add-in in your Excel Startup Folder to get Excel
- to default to the folder containing the document you opened.

- Good Seven, Bozo Clown

-
- P.S. The following technical details are for the incurably curious:
-
- David Wortendyke, MS Excel Support, suggested the following work around when I
- complained that Excel 3.0 didn't set the default folder like it used to.
-
- "an Add-In with a set of two macros which alleviate this problem:
-
- add_in =ON.WINDOW(,do_it) =RETURN()
-
- do_it =DIRECTORY(GET.DOCUMENT(2)) =ON.WINDOW() =RETURN()
-
- Type these into a macro sheet, name each one, save this as an Add-in in your
- Excel Startup Folder, then restart Excel. Let me know if you have any trouble
- implementing this."
-
- Well, this works as long as the documents are not at the root level.
-
- The accompanying Excel 3.0 "Set Default Folder" add-in is based on David's
- suggestion with a fix for documents at the root level. You can check out the
- details by opening a copy of the "Set Default Folder" as a macro (hold down the
- shift key as you open it) and reading the macro comments.
