This is quite correct. In Excel for example, the first file open will
be from the default directory set in Excel. However, subsequent
File-Opens will default to the last used folder.

Hi Mary,
I understand the point that you are making and I agree if your
default is set to eg. C:/Legacy/Data then this is the folder which
should be opened on all occasions. My observation was just one based
on what I have seen in numerous programs and I do not know why when
a default is set it does not seem to work.
I cannot readily check to see if I get the same effect as yourself
as I keep mine all in the same folder ( and I really don't want to
risk messing things up by moving them!)

This is common in many Windows programs where the location offered is the
same as the one of the file currently in use.
So what is the point of Legacy asking us for a "default" folder for
our Legacy Data? Where is this default being used by the program?
Sorry, can't get my head round this at all. I would expect the
"default" folder *always" to appear when I want to open a Data File.
