 **Please see the [[http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/message/list/Saving+previous+load+and+save+paths|discussion]] page**\\ \\  It is often useful if a program remembers where a file was last loaded from or saved to so that the next time a file open or file save dialogue is used it opens on the same directory as last time. Repeated calls of **SYS "GetOpenFileName"** re-open on the same directory as last time (unless overridden). However, that is a system-wide setting, not a program setting, and your program may have different dialogues that should start from different directories. The following code saves the loaded or saved filename in the registry so that next time it opens on the same directory again. The Save dialogue also pre-fills the filename with the last used filename.\\  **Please see the [[http://bb4w.wikispaces.com/message/list/Saving+previous+load+and+save+paths|discussion]] page**\\ \\  It is often useful if a program remembers where a file was last loaded from or saved to so that the next time a file open or file save dialogue is used it opens on the same directory as last time.
