Default Path [RESOLVED]

[robbedaya]

IS it possible to set a default path for saving vb-apps. It alway's gives my a subfolder of the Vb-folder in "program files". I'd like to set the default to "my documents"

App.Path

this is not what I mean.
Do not want to know where my application is located.
I want to know if there is a setting in VB to set the default path for saving my projects. This has nothing to do with VB source code, but with a setting in Vb.

Unfortunately there isn't - but there is a trick to help you out.

Create a shortcut to the folder that you want to store your code files in, then put the shortcut into the default VB save/load folder. Then when the window opens you can click on the shortcut to instantly go to the right folder..

It's not perfect, but the creators of VB didn't think we'd mind saving all our code in a pre-defined folder

Yes there is a way..

1. Find the shortcut to VB on your start menu / desktop / whereever, and do RIGHT-CLICK / PROPERTIES.

2. In the "START IN" box put the location where you want the default save location to be; eg;

"C:\Documents and Settings\mbeeton1\My Documents\vb6"

is in mine.


Hit OK to save the shortcut and then run VB and it will work fine.
