Options should provide browse buttons under settings. MartinJ 03.06.2006 08:41:02 When setting preferences under the Excel Options, you should provide buttons to browse for default folder locations. Specifically, under the Save category, "AutoRecover file location" and "Default file location" should provide something to help a person pick the folder they want to use (see "Server drafts location" on this same tab). Also, under the Advanced category, the "At startup, open all files in:" should also provide assistance. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

"Nick Hodge" <nick_hodgeTAKETHISOUT[ at ]zen.co.uk.ANDTHIS> 07.06.2006 20:23:17 Martin I don't disagree per se, but the autosave location for instance is hidden so you would not be able to navigate to it. It's no different to XL4-2003, but that's no excuse I suppose, I just navigate and copy and paste from the address bar. FYI: If you want 2007 bugs filed you should include XL2007 or similar in the subject line as I suspect MS will be monitoring these groups for subject lines only...they certainly don't read all messages -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk nick_hodgeTAKETHISOUT[ at ]zen.co.uk.ANDTHIS "MartinJ" <MartinJ[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5C93EC91-9DAE-46A2-8F5C-490C57E598B2[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Options should provide browse buttons under settings (XL2007). MartinJ 07.06.2006 22:39:02 I can see your point with the autosave path. What about the "Here's where I want my documents stored by default" one? Mom and Pop User aren't going to know what to enter here when help tells them to change this value when they don't want their stuff going in the "My Documents" folder. Following through on the logic about the autosave location, shouldn't that choice be moved to the Advanced tab then? That's where they stuffed the startup folder location.
