Here's a sample macro to move to open a folder (FC) when I'm in another folder:

ChangeFileOpenDirectory _
"C:\Documents and Settings\Ginger\My Documents\FC\"
End Sub

When I run the macro to move to this folder and give the Open command, it
takes me to My Documents but no further. Macros work ok when I specify a
document in the FC folder but not just the folder itself. In creating macros
to move to folders (but not documents), I've had to Escape before pressing
Stop for the macro to record. This previously worked.

My macros are currently saving to "All active templates and documents."
Perhaps I need to change to one of the other options under "Macros in"
selection in the macro recorder and editor - but that doesn't explain why
macros to open a specific document are working in the current setting.

Maybe you can see your macro, but none of us can. So how do we help?
