k33,
Do'able but you are looking at using API calls. Some quick info follows, but need to look for SHOWOPEN and SHOWSAVE.
Common Dialog API Calls
Save File Dialog
Hope this helps.

"VBScript" is a little vague. What scripting host are we talking about?
The details differ for a WSH vs. an IE HTM or an IE HTA. I'm sure Office programs have yet other differences.
In any case you need a license for the MS Common Dialog control if you want to go that way. I haven't found a way to use a licensed control in a WSH script without having a developer license installed on the machine running the WSH. An HTA can be made portable using the ActiveX License Manager component.
There is an HTA sample at:
