Like someone on the email maiing list, I have a new computer where data files are on the D:/ data drive.
I can navigate to the fh projects folder on D:/ and open one (which reopns if I colse and open the fh software).
But if I close that project, I haver to navigate all overr again to open another.
I havent yet found the place in fh to set the path for the Project data folder itself, that is I need to navigate to the new location and set it.
In TMG one could do this so I assume I can in fh as well.
I would appreciate advice as I shall have to move fh projects to the C drive, if there is no option to alter the default.
* Default folder for Project files
Re: Default folder for Project files
Try the "More Tasks" button in the Project Window; then Select "Project List" and "Choose location of Projects".

Re: Default folder for Project files
I have done it.
Thanks David - tho not quite as you suggested.
When you close a Project and are offered Browse for Project, and select that, there is the option below to set the new location as default. The location on the D:/ drive is shown in blue so all one has to do is click on that.
At least I think that is what I did.
But I did look through all choice within fh and fail to find the solution.
