    Default import/export path

    When I import or export modules from the VBE, my default path was where I wanted it until this past week when I somehow hosed it, and now I have to navigate to get back to it each time I restart Excel (it remains stable in each session).

    Does anyone know how to change the default path?

    Thank you, but no; that's C:\Users\shg\Documents

    The path was C:\Users\shg\Documents\Docs - shg\Tech Notes\VBA Library\New

    And it changed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14

    Have you tried searching the registry for that path? If it's there it may be a clue as to what is changing it.

    I looked in the Object Explorer for all the properties that included "path", and searched the registry, yes. It appeared multiple times in the registry, but nothing with a key that looked appropriate.
