Pre-populating the filename box when the user goes to save

[Laphan]

Hi All

I know you can do a SaveAs command to save your generated doc, but I need
the user to perform the save bit because the location can vary greatly from
user to user.

However, I would like to pre-populate what the filename is when they go to
select File/Save As to save them from changing this all the time. They
often don't follow a set format and as there might be 12 users saving 4 docs
each I'd like to give them a helping hand.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Hi Doug

All I want to do is drop in a filename that I have built up from the doc
they have created. For example, if they have done a Maths document for
Class 13 then when they go to File / Save As I want to pre-populate the
filename text box with 'Class 13 - Maths'.

Any ideas?
