default filepath in XP

MS Word VBA >> default filepath in XP

In Word 2k, the following code successfully "set" the default filepath:
Options.DefaultFilePath(Path:=wdUserTemplatesPath)="C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates"

Now, in Word XP, this code results in an error:
Run-time error 4101
Illegal function call

If I use the macro recorder, to "set" the same path, I am unsuccessful
(won't let me select this folder), but if I use the macro recorder to "set"
the path to "C:\" , I am successful, and then g0don't get the error on
running the sub. Is there some different kind of permissions structure for
XP files for my chosen filepath in XP, or else what's the deal, guys?

TIA

Works OK here (I pasted your code in a Word XP module).
Are you sure you did not forget to change "username" for the actual name?
Just checking... you never know! I have done much dumber mistakes!

Salut!
