I think I once managed to do something similar and show "*.pdf" already filled in, so maybe you could fill in the complete filename instead of "*.pdf". See: https://community.appeon.com/index.php/qna/q-a/how-to-get-dw-1-saveas-pdf-true-to-open-in-a-specific-directory?limitstart=0#reply-29630

I know it worked, but I also vaguely seem to remember that 'later' when trying to do something similar it no longer worked. Maybe due to having upgraded to a superior version of Appeon?

As Brad said, why not use the GetFolder() function. You could maybe show the FileName in the Title something like.

"Choose a folder where you want to save " + ls_myFileName

regards.

Hello, Tomaz -

Assign a value to the pathname and filename return values before calling the GetFileSaveName function, as shown in the following code sample:

Constant ULong OFN_CREATEPROMPT       = 2^0
Constant ULong OFN_EXPLORER           = 2^1
Constant ULong OFN_EXTENSIONDIFFERENT = 2^2
Constant ULong OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST      = 2^3
Constant ULong OFN_HIDEREADONLY       = 2^4
Constant ULong OFN_LONGNAMES          = 2^5
Constant ULong OFN_NOCHANGEDIR        = 2^6
Constant ULong OFN_NODEREFERENCELINKS = 2^7
Constant ULong OFN_NOLONGNAMES        = 2^8
Constant ULong OFN_NONETWORKBUTTON    = 2^9
Constant ULong OFN_NOREADONLYRETURN   = 2^10
Constant ULong OFN_NOTESTFILECREATE   = 2^11
Constant ULong OFN_NOVALIDATE         = 2^12
Constant ULong OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT    = 2^13
Constant ULong OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST      = 2^14
Constant ULong OFN_READONLY           = 2^15

Integer li_rc
ULong   lul_flags
String  ls_initdir, ls_pathname, ls_filename

ls_initdir  = "C:\MyDocuments"
ls_filename = "DefaultFilename.pdf"
ls_pathname = ls_initdir + "\" + ls_filename
lul_flags   = OFN_EXPLORER + OFN_HIDEREADONLY + OFN_LONGNAMES + OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT

li_rc = GetFileSaveName("Save As PDF",ls_pathname,ls_filename,"pdf", &
   "PDF files (*.pdf)",ls_initdir,lul_flags)

MessageBox("Results","RC = "+String(li_rc) + &
   "~r~nPathname = "+ls_pathname + &
   "~r~nFilename = "+ls_filename)

Please note the path name you supply will NOT be the initial path/folder the user sees when the Save As dialog window opens, and the user will be able to specify a different filename, but the filename you supply will be filled in initially.

Regards, John

Have you tried using the GetFolder function?
