(Dir1...Drive1...File1)Just don't work as usually.

Anybody..........

Everytime a insert a Drive1 control into my form from the toolbox, Drive1 is already at the rmy network drive) drive when it should start a c: drive(at design time).
So this really pause my application for quiet a while. any ideas?
I recently install service pack 5.

Your commments are appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, it does that sometimes.
At runtime, when your form loads, you can reset the Drive control to point to the current directory with:

Drive1.ListIndex = 1
(which is usually the C: drive)

Be careful of this code on machines that do not have a floppy drive, as index 0 would then be C:

Thanks Chiph,
Your sugestion works fine.
But everytime a put a Drive1, Dir1, File1 control in my form it takes a few seconds before it shows, it is not as usually anymore.
And I think the time it takes to show, it is because is looking for r:\ Drive.
I need to be able to replace the settings for that control or replace the whole file instead.

Do you know what DLL or OCX I should take care of?


Thanks

Lulo

Why you don't use Commondialog box ? _____________________________

You might also try setting the default drive prior to loading the form:[tt]

Sub Main()
ChDrive "C:"
Form1.Show
End Sub
[/tt]
Just set Sub Main as the startup object in Project Properties.

Thanks guys,
Now the file has been reset back to what it was and I didn't do anything. So probably this a glitch on vb.

I could had used a common dialog box but I'm looking for files in the file list that the user don't need to see.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate, nice help.
