Ian,

Glad I could help

OK as for the side effect you mentioned - The key in the registry you have changed is actually the key which determines the 'My Documents' folder, I do hope this isn't a
problem.

As for the default saving directory in word:

Change (or create if the key isn't there) the following key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word\doc-path

Andrew

p.s. - After re-reading your post I've realised I've miss read it!   Oh well, maybe the above key will come in handy for you!!

>Andrew, that was an excellent suggestion, it worked perfectly.  However, there's an odd side effect which I thought I'd mention - I changed the registry setting to a
folder I created in C called 'Upload'.  Now when I do 'Insert\File attachment' it heads unerringly for the Upload folder - but the 'Look In' box tells me I'm in 'My Documents'!
Don't you love this Windows thing?
