MS Common Dialog

[KoenPiller]

Hi,

I am puzzled with the Active X msComDlg Common Dialog. Is does not save
I have this form with a btnSave. In the Clickprocedure following code:

WITH ThisForm
.oleCommSelect.FileName = “myFile.txt” 
.oleCommSelect.Defaultext = “txt”
.oleCommSelect.ShowSave()
ENDWITH

It shows the ms common dialog window, you can select, an other directory, but nothing is saved.
When I than activate the Windows search I find that myFile.txt is listed in the directory I had selected however as an Explorer shortcut and indeed physically it is not in the directory I would have expect it to be.

Obviously I am doing something wrong, any idea where what to correct?

Thanks

Koen

I believe that the common Dialog simulates Open/Save actions, but you alos have to code the actual action. Take a look at PUTFILE() in the help file to save it.

Hi,

This is a clear case of haye in my brains: the coding is perfect but lacking of the essential instruction to do the actual "copy file to".
Added that (inclusive all kinds of error handlings) and all works as it should.
Thanks for moral support.
