saving file - path not showing

Zdaniuk, Bozena-2
hello, everybody. Apologies if topic already discussed (couldn't find anything in the archives). I have this annoying feature in my SPSS 17 (all current patches) that I would like to change. When I have any spss file open and I click "save as" instead of showing me the path where the file sits, it shows me "My Documents". Can I somehow change is so that "Save as" opens the folder in which this file actually resides? (as was the case in version 15 and all previous ones)
Thanks a lot.

Check the File Locations tab in Edit>Options. It provides an option to
default to the last folder used, so if you open a file from that folder,
edit and then do Save As, it will open that folder. I'm not sure what
happens if you have multiple files open from different folders but you can
easily test that.
