The File ListBox display still has the contents of the startup directory
not 'c:\temp' as expected.  Am I missing something? This is the first
time I have used this component.

Mike,

The DEFAULTDIRECTORY option will ALWAYS remember the form startup
directory or the default directory defined in the FileListBox
Default Directory property.

To achieve your goal, try the following commands as Custom EEP and
see what you get.

-- Start
SET VAR vCurrentDir = (CVAL('CURRDIR'))
CD C:\TEMP
PROPERTY List1 REFRESHFILES 'TRUE'
RECALC VARIABLES
CD &vCurrentDir
RETURN
-- End

By the click of a button, this routine will change the current directory
to C:\TEMP, let you view the list of file(s), allow you to open any, and
then switch back to the default/startup directory.

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
