Problem with the Save DialogBox??? - Please help

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the Save Box on the CommonDialog. Sure, when I enter a file name and press ok the file is saved and Everything is fine, but when I press cancel I get an invalid filename error. What is up???

rino...This may or may not be it,, but have you tried turning off the CancelError property of the CommonDialog?

Just a thought.

Try something like this: (put this code right after CommonDialog1.ShowOpen Command)
If Err <> 32755 Then and put everything you want to do when user did not press Cancel. It won't do anything when user will press Cancel.

you could aslo try to do somthing like this:
though I haven't tried it yet.

Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
Dim sFile As String

On Error GoTo NoFile
With cdbLoadSave
.DialogTitle = "save your file"
.Filter = "File(.file)|*.file"
.DefaultExt = ".file"
.CancelError = True
.ShowSave
sFile = .filename
End With

NoFile:
End Sub

name the command button cmdSave and the commondialog cdbLoadSave

hope this helps.

hi again...

if my example is not working you can use the
example that is displayed on the topic below named COMMONDIALOG

Couldn't u just use this to make it work:
Commondailog1.Cancelerror = true
On Error GoTo DoNothing
. . .
. . .
DoNothing:
If Err.Number = cdlCANCEL Then
; do nothing, Cancel button clicked
Else
Msgbox Err.Description
End if
ENd sub
that always works fine for me

yeah probably.. but now you are making thing just easy : )
