Doug Robbins provided a cool solution to a problem that encompassed using a UserForm in Word 2003 (see Further Automation from 10/14).

How can I set Office to save documents in the current folder?
I do not like the default location MS uses for saving files (deeply nested). Instead, I have a "Data Files" folder directly under C:\, and I create folders there for my documents. I have set Word to open to the correct folder, but I have found that when I save or "save as" a document, it often ends up in the nested folder established by MS. How can I change this so Word will save docum...
