SetPathName causes problems in Win95

Environment : VC++ 4.1, Windows 95

I am trying to use CDocument::SetPathName() to initialize the documents default path 
before the first save.  With NT4.0, it works perfectly, popping up the file dialog with the 
specified directory & filename.  Under Win95, however, the file dialog never appears,
and the document isn't saved.

Does anyone know of a different way of specifying default path & filename (short of 
totally bypassing the framework)?  

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the reply.  I probably should have been a little more specific in
my original post.  If I don't call SetPathName(), The save dialog pops up
as normal.  It's only when I call SetPathName that the dialog doesn't appear.
Herein lies my puzzlement.

Hi Dean,

For the Windows 95 code, you may need to set the flag OFN_EXPLORER with
the m_ofn.Flags structure of the file dialog to view the dialog box.  MS
itself claims to do it.

BTW, I am wondering how you're getting the file dialog in NT 4.0 without
this flag is setting.  Because we tried to ran into the same problem
without setting the above flag.

Thanks
Rajesh

Save dialog will appear automatically only if there is no file name for document yet. You call SetPathName(), so you have it (file name). No problem.
