Method failed when I try to set the DefaultFilePath

Posted by Alexis Val on February 13, 2002 2:16 AM

Hello,

I need to set the Application.DefaultFilePath to "", but I get "method 'DefaultFilePath' of object '_Application failed'". However this method in the help file is Read / Write.

Thanks a lot,
Alx.

Which version of Excel are you using? I just tried this in Excel 2000 and it worked fine:-

Sub SetPath()
Application.DefaultFilePath = ""
End Sub

Version: "Excel 97 SR-2"

Just tried the same code on a machine with XL97 installed and it worked fine. Maybe you should post the code to see if there is anything else that could be wrong.

Dear DK,

By steps I can find why ...
On the sheet, I put a button, when this button has the focus, the method failed. When a cell is actived ... Alleluia ... Alleluia ... Alleluia

A very strange behaviour.

Thanks for your help,
Alx
