Opening App files (W2003SE)

[t_skrypek]

Hi,

Whenever I try to open an app file from within the application (excel, Word. Streets and Trips, ect) I can only get to folders that are in my Ipaq,s memory (RAM). I can't access files that are on my storage card. There must be an startup file somewhere that tells the applications what folders to look in. If I go explorer and go to the folder that has a data file on my storage card that I want to work on and double click it, the application will open it and I can work on that file.

So, how can I tell my ipaq 5455/w2003SE where to look when I open an application? Startup file? registry setting?

Create My Documents folder on the storage card and put those files in it.

Duh, that did it. I guess that if you save a file under anything other than the My Documents folder then you can't access it from an application. I have been working with PC's to long to break the habbit. My last PDA was a HP 200LX palmtop which I reluctently gave up for an ipaq. They had a great calculator feature (solver) that I still use at work. I would love to find a PDA replacement for it.


Thank's for your help.
