Is there a way to set multiple save location defaults at the file level. What I want to do; save a set of multiple locations where a file can be saved to at the file level by type, by name, by directory.

I would think that you could write a batchfile to do it. Depending on the app generating the files, you may be able to cusomize the toolbar to include a link to the batchfile. The batchfile could get complecated if you have a lot of variables in it.

That was one I had thought of as well, however integrating it at the single application level is cumbersome because of the file extension type .txt with line breaks. The batch file acts like a global default and then you lose the flexibilitywithin the application to be able to save other files that are not in the file group to another kind of type. Unless you know a way to assign the batch file at the point of saving within the application winword.exe without adding another step to theprocess. I am looking at a macro attached to each file, to see if I can accomplish it that way. In any case thanks for the suggestion.
