How to open the SaveAs Dialog Box

[billdvldog]

I'm using the following from MS to open the OpenFile Common Dialog Box. I'd like to use the SaveAs Common Dialog Box as well, but I can't seem to find any info on how to do this. I'm sure it's a few simple modifications of the following, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any help is most definitely appreciated!

Thanks, Bill

Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib &quot;comdlg32.dll&quot; Alias _

Dim OpenFile As OPENFILENAME
Dim lReturn As Long
Dim sFilter As String
OpenFile.lStructSize = Len(OpenFile)
OpenFile.hwndOwner = strform.Hwnd
sFilter = &quot;All Files (*.*)&quot; & Chr(0) & &quot;*.*&quot; & Chr(0)
OpenFile.lpstrFilter = sFilter
OpenFile.nFilterIndex = 1
OpenFile.lpstrFile = String(257, 0)
OpenFile.nMaxFile = Len(OpenFile.lpstrFile) - 1
OpenFile.lpstrFileTitle = OpenFile.lpstrFile
OpenFile.nMaxFileTitle = OpenFile.nMaxFile
OpenFile.lpstrInitialDir = &quot;A:\&quot;
OpenFile.lpstrTitle = &quot;Select the &quot; + ImportName + &quot; Import File Name&quot;
OpenFile.flags = 0
lReturn = GetOpenFileName(OpenFile)
If lReturn = 0 Then
MsgBox &quot;A file was not selected!&quot;, vbInformation, _
&quot;Select a file using the Common Dialog DLL&quot;
Else
LaunchCD = Trim(OpenFile.lpstrFile)
End If
End Function

Christ!!! Hard work.......

How about using the Common Dialog Control itself rather than an API to it?

Much easier. The control can then be made to show a Save As dialog box by......

ControlName.ShowSave
