I am able to call the Word 2013 File Open dialog box. &nbsp;What I would like to do is to set the directory before opening up the dialog box.<br />
<br />
For example I would like to set the directory to<br />
\\Server\datashare\clients<wbr />\Client1<br />
<br />
so that when the File Open dialog box opens they will be at the Client1 folder. &nbsp; This is an example, there can be hundreds to different clients.<br />
<br />
The following shows the File Open dialog box, but it opens to whatever directory Word last used.<br />
<br />
Word.Dialog dlg = Globals.ThisAddIn.Applicat<wbr />ion.Dialog<wbr />s[Word.WdW<wbr />ordDialog.<wbr />wdDialogFi<wbr />leOpen];<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
dlg.Show();<br />
<br />
Anyone have any suggestions? &nbsp; Thanks.

.NET Programming

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
