Chris,

Can you give us an idea what your application does?

Hi John

my application will open a file and do some data modification and use "Save As" to
save the old file into a new file

or the application allows user to create a new file and then Save into a new file

Sounds like you're trying to replace the Windows File Explorer? I can't see much of a market for that.

Maybe your creating the next version of extortionware.

extortion ware ? that is beyond my ability! 

there are so many apps such as like MS word which allows you to open a new file and then
allow user to save it or save as a different filename.

 these apps also use Savefiledialog 

so are these extortionware?   definitely not

Hi Chris,

you can look at \inc\filedialogs.inc (FileDialog) in combination with \inc\OxideUtil.inc (MayPutFile). In Forger_o2 examples there is app_two, app_three, app_four with file dialogs which can be adapted (dofilesave). There is also a SaveFileDialog in projectsB\Scintilla\AsciEdit2.o2bas
