Changing the Default "Save As..." Location

Posted by Jamesman on September 24, 2000 4:34 PM

Hello,
Everyday I need to create a couple of new files from a template that I have but I
do not want to save these files in the "My Documents" folder. I have to save them to
a different location buried kind of deep in another folder. So my question is, after I
open the template file and then go to the "save as..." command, how I can change the
default location of "C:/My Documents", to another location say, C:/other
location/excel files/today"?
I am using win98 with excel 97.
Thanks for any and all help.
James

Thanks,
that was so simple, I'm almost embarrassed to have asked.
Thanks again.
