Save As Dialog box in Word 2000

[jck15243]

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to have a default value in the save as dialog box form Word using VBA. The way it comes up just using Dialogs(wdFileDialogSaveAs).Show has the current document name in it, and I don't want people to accidentally overwrite the document when they click on my button. I have been looking for many different ways but to no avail. I can get it to work in Excel with no problem but the same way won't work in Word, so I'm kinda stuck.

Have a look at this and see if it could meet your needs. You'll have to remove the first save changes bit or it will just resave the doc.

If a man says something and there are no women there to hear him, is he still wrong?

Set MyDialog = Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs)
MyDialog.Name = NewNameHere
MyDialog.Show

thanks, i modified the previous code to make it work, i just got hung up because .name isn't a property of a dialog box, as it doesn't pop up in the list dialog. is typed. it works to set it though, strange.
