This is typically managed by the application. Some apps, like Office and Photoshop, will let you set default save points; others will revert to wherever you last saved a file, regardless of where the current file was opened. Still others will do save as where you last opened a file. And all of them will get confused if the volume you last saved to is no longer accessible. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
