I have a routine where user selects a file using GetDir() function. I would like to store the drive+directory before calling GetDir() and then restore it back to that directory

I tried the following:
cCurrDir = sys(5) + sys(2003)
GetDir()
CHDIR cCurrDir
But I get error "Invalid path or file name" on the CHDIR line.

My questions are:
1. What is wrong with my syntax of CHDIR?
2. Would I be better off using SET DEFAULT TO (cCurrDir) instead of CHDIR?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions
