Export to Excel - default folder

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Is there a setting for the default folder for Excel's exports? When export to Excel by pressing Ctrl+E it asks to save it somewhere, but if you just press 'open' then it's saved in NAV's temp folder. Is there are way to set it to a default location? I tried setting the default location within Excel, but NAV ignores it.

    Giving the path in createbook doesn't work?

    It's not about creating a new report or page. I want to set a default folder for all the native NAV pages. Sales Order list, for example.

    Hi, As far as I know, there is no good way. When many softwares directly open the files, they put the files in the temporary folder first.
    It is recommended to use Save, which will save the last folder location.
