Pre-populating the filename box when the user goes to save "Laphan" <please[ at ]dont.spam.com> 11/30/2008 8:56:59 PM Hi All I know you can do a SaveAs command to save your generated doc, but I need the user to perform the save bit because the location can vary greatly from user to user. However, I would like to pre-populate what the filename is when they go to select File/Save As to save them from changing this all the time. They often don't follow a set format and as there might be 12 users saving 4 docs each I'd like to give them a helping hand. Is this even possible? Thanks

Re: Pre-populating the filename box when the user goes to save "Laphan" <please[ at ]dont.spam.com> 12/1/2008 12:26:16 PM Hi Doug All I want to do is drop in a filename that I have built up from the doc they have created. For example, if they have done a Maths document for Class 13 then when they go to File / Save As I want to pre-populate the filename text box with 'Class 13 - Maths'. Any ideas?
