How to get Designer to open files in a specific folder

PhilW

Hi,

Thanks again for the expert replies to my previous question. Here is another one...

I am allowing my program users to modify reports using the Designer. But I want to point them to the correct folder so that when they do a File|Open within the Designer they can see the reports.

I tried to set the OpenDir property before calling the Designer:

frxDesigner1.OpenDir := IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter(FFormsFolder) + MASTERFORMS;
 frxReport1.DesignReport;

But the OpenDir property seems to be ignored by the Designer.

The Designer does remember the previous folder for a File|Open - where is that information kept and can I get at it to change it?

Thanks for any advice,
Regards,
PhilW.

default is application dir.
dont't for get your string delimiters the property is a string and the folder must exist
ie
frxreport1.clear
frxdesigner1.opendir :='C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My fr4 d12 projects\subreports\testfolder';
frxreport1.designreport;

works fine for me

Hi, Gordk,

You are quite right. A difference between development and live environments meant the the folder I was trying to set did not exist.

Thanks for the advice,
