Open file path (on command line)

[Jleibold]

Hello All,

I have v2015 just installed.  I cannot open or find a file through explorer folder view, I only get the command line asking for location.  I cannot figure out where the setting is or how it changed.  I migrated everything over from v2014.....btw.

This happens on Insert | Attach also (so far as I know)

See attached...

Thanks,

Jeff

Make sure FILEDIA is set to 1

Thank you....that was it...

Hello

As you know now : FILEDIA = 1

It's one of the most "populous" System Variable !

and check also : CMDDIA = 1

Because if CMDDIA = 0 you could have some strange side effects ...

I am currently in school and my instructors didn't even know how to fix the problem. Thanks

Hint: If you'd like to really impress your instructors, with FILEDIA = 0, you can enter Shift + "~" (the "tilde" character, at the upper-left of the keyboard), followed by <Enter> to force the Select File or Browse to Folder window to appear.

For some reason the popular answer didn't work for me, so thanks for your input on this!

[dmfrazier]

You're very welcome!

And best of luck (and determination) in your studies.

How to set FIDELIA to 1?

Thank you in advance!

[dmfrazier]

Correct spelling is important.

On the command line, type FILEDIA, hit <Enter>, and then respond by typing 0, followed by <Enter>.

(That is a zero, not the letter O.)

I've had to come back to this thread several times because I forget what the command is. Do you know why this happens?
