Excel 2010 Save Default location

[Andrzejek]

What I have in:
Excel 2010 (with Windows 7): File – Options – Save – Default file location: C:\SomeFolder\Excel

C:\SomeFolder\Excel is the location where I want to save my Excel files.

But even with that setting, when I create a new Excel file and go to Save, it wants to save it in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14 and ignores my default setting.

I have the same set up in Word 2010, but Word works OK and recognizes the default location I set up.

What am I missing in Excel so it will save the files where I want to?


Have fun.

Well, it used to work, and then it did not.
After some digging and comparing with Word settings it turned out: my default path had a [tt]\[/tt] missing at the end, so I assume Excel could not find the folder and it pointed to the ‘factory default’ location.
Now that I have: [tt]C:\SomeFolder\Excel[red]\[/red][/tt] it works again.

Have fun.
