    Forcing CommonDialog to start in certain folder

    I am trying to get the CommonDialog new file to come up in a certain folder and not having any luck. I have tried excecuting the ChDir right before I call the CommonDialog but it still does not start there. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    the commondialog has an InitDir property that you can set before calling it.

    I knew it had to be somewhere. I just spend the past day and half looking and playing. I have gotten out of the habbit of looking as I type the period to see the list of available properties.

    I really, really appreciate the fast answer.

    Now lets see if you really know your stuff.....What are this weekends winning lottery numbers for Texas. I will share.......

    Thanks.
