VB Executable

[cwalshe]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to have a VB executable open automatically once the Save As dialog box is closed.

Also is there a way of 1) copying the file name from the Save As dialog box and inputting it into a text box on a different form and 2) how to set up a VB executable so that it sits in the systems tray when inactivate.

Thanks,

Cormac.

To open an EXE after the Save As dialog box is dismissed, just use the Shell statement after your ShowSave statement, e.g:

On Error Resume Next
CmDlg.CancelError = True
CmDlg.ShowSave
If Err <> 32755 Then
Shell "C:\MyApp.exe", 1
End If

To copy the filename, just assign it like you would normally do:

On Error Resume Next
CmDlg.CancelError = True
CmDlg.ShowSave
If Err <> 32755 Then
Form2.txtFileName = CmDlg.filename
End If
