New open and save problem [Resolved]

[Mike Hildner]

You've got a couple things going on here. For one, it looks like you're expecting to receive a file name from this:

Fn = OFD2.ShowDialog() ' show the Open dialog

You really recieve a DialogResult, which VB is automatically turning into a string and putting in your Fn variable. Run this code and you'll see what I mean:

Dim myString As String
        myString = OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
        MessageBox.Show(myString)

Notice the result if you click ok or cancel.

If you want the file name choosen, use

MessageBox.Show(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

I guess the second problem is this?

If Fn <> "" Then ' if it doesn't equel nothing then open file, also no workie
            ' OFD2.OpenFile() ' No workie
        End If

I assume you realize that your OpenFile method is commented out. Calling OpenFile will return a stream. Is that what you mean to do? Or do you wish to "open" the file, like in a text editor or some other app?
