>>>>I did but to no avail. I even disconnected from the mapped drive and still a problem. Strange is that right before the "GetFile()" code I check the current folder and it is the right folder. And after the GetFile() the program still looks at the right folder. But GetFile() opens the window in a "wrong" folder. Strange.

Because getfile() is basically a wrapper around a windows explorer (renamed file explorer now, both names completely wrong), which may get its preferred start folder from who knows which API call. My guess is that Set Default and CD may not really use the same API to set that; also curdir() is suspect as it doesn't return the drive (i.e. it may be using some way obsolete API), so perhaps the newer set("directory") (undocumented but works) may work.

Doing CD before getfile() didn't resolve the issue. Thank you for your suggestion.
