Hi,
I am trying to save files with new names (e.g. "Filename_version2") in the same folder that they are in currently. I want the files to be accessible based on the different projects I am working on.
(I would like the same kind of functionality found in MSFT Word, Excel, etc., which allow for saving of files in their current folder.)
But when I 'save as' an SPSS file with a new name it can only be listed in 1) a single specified folder, or 2) the last folder used.
"Startup Folders for Open and Save Dialog Boxes
• Specified folder. The specified folder is used as the default location at the start of each session. You can specify different default locations for data and other (non-data) files.
• Last folder used. The last folder used to either open or save files in the previous session is used as the default at the start of the next session. This applies to both data and other (non-data) files.
These settings apply only to dialog boxes for opening and saving files—and the "last folder used" is determined by the last dialog box used to open or save a file. Files opened or saved via command syntax have no effect on—and are not affected by—these settings. These settings are only available in local analysis mode. In distributed analysis mode connected to a remote server (requires IBM® SPSS® Statistics Server), you cannot control the startup folder locations."
Any suggestions for dealing with this problem?
