I have figured this out, but I don't understand why. This doesn't work: `'\\somecomputer\somedir\somedir'` This does work: `"\\\\somecomputer\\somedir\\somedir"` Anyone know why you have to double quote this in order to make it work? ~~David~~	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for the reply. I am using Tk 804.027, but I still don't know if this patch will fix my problem. Even if I format the network drive with forward slashes, getSaveFile still refuses to go the correct network dir, and opens the current active dir instead. Do you think the patch will fix this problem, even if the network location is formated in for the OS the script is running on? ~~David~~	[reply]
