Peter, Yes, we try to please!! The problem with doing it using GetDir is that they end up having two dialogue boxes as opposed to one (one for the folder, one for the name). Let's say we want our users to feel wanted and loved..... even though we DON'T love them sometimes!!!
Anyway I have solved the problem by using an API call to the M$ Common dialogue DLL which works fine so far.

We make them navigate the network for stuff like that. If you chose a standard name for the report name you could use GETDIR('c:\somefolder','select input/output folder'), which does allow you to specify where it starts.
