When the user clicks on the folder icon to select a file the default location is the standard default location of the last file loaded into which ever program your using.</P><P>I have tried fiddling around in the validation settings, but can't find anyway of&nbsp; doing this.</P><P>Has anyone been able to do this?</P><P>Thanks</P><P>David</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="DavidTriggs_0-1628382251282.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/20430iAE924FA8FE03CCD8/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="DavidTriggs_0-1628382251282.png" alt="DavidTriggs_0-1628382251282.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 08 Aug 2021 00:28:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/setting-a-default-directory-for-an-arctoolbox-file/m-p/1086895#M25746 DavidTriggs 2021-08-08T00:28:34Z https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/setting-a-default-directory-for-an-arctoolbox-file/m-p/1193102#M26408 <P>I'd also like to see an answer to this <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Mon, 18 Jul 2022 19:31:52 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/setting-a-default-directory-for-an-arctoolbox-file/m-p/1193102#M26408 ScottEllis123 2022-07-18T19:31:52Z
