I have saved an email as a message file (e.g., MyEmail.msg). In the same
folder where this file is saved, I have an Excel file which I periodically
update. When I open the message file, I then attach the Excel file. But the
message file opens to my default folder for Outlook (e.g., My Documents).

Is there a way to reset the default path for this message so that when I
insert the Excel file the dialogue opens to the folder where the Excel file
resides (My Documents/folder/)?
 
A particular message doesn't have a default attachment path associated with it, and the Attach File dialog that Outlook shows has no programmability features.

If you have Windows Explorer open so you can open the message file, why not just drag the Excel file from that window into the open message?
