save file with pre-defined name

[HS1]

Hello all

From a Form presenting a record, I use Automation to open a Doc file
template for printing envelops. The details of the record (name,
address... ) of the record will be presented in this envelop. I use Bookmark
for inserting the values of the record for the fields in the envelop
template. I set the template as Read-only. After printing a envelop, I want
to save this file using "Save As..". The application will ask me to type a
file name for this new file in the "File name"

I do not want to type a name as it takes time to do it.

Do you know a way so that the "File name" field in "Save as" dialog box will
display automatically the name of seleted field of the record ( so I only
need to click "Save")
Thank you
S.Hoa

If you're automating Word, why don't you just call the document object's
SaveAs method and pass the name you want it saved under? Along the
lines of ...

appWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs _
strFolder & "\" & Me.txtWhatever & ".doc"

Then you wouldn't even have to click "Save".
