How to set the default suggested filename to be displayed by the Save As dialog the first time a use

[Kenan Kilictepe]

How to set the default suggested filename to be displayed by the Save As
dialog the first time a user saves a new document?

With Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo)
.Title = "My FileName"
.Execute
End With

doesn't work because my file name must contain "_"

something like "Docno_21_spec_123.doc"



Thanks

Kenan

What version of Office and Windows are you using?
Your code, as posted, worked as expected on my machine (Windows XP SP2 and
Office 2003 SP2)

Hi,
if you don't use any "_" character then it works.
But if you use , then it doesnt.
For example if you want to set filename as "DOC_001_V01.doc"
then suggested name will be "DOC.doc".
Any suggestion?
