Save and Save as

Can anyone please tell me why we need to have save and save as BOTH in our program... and how can we handle it? i mean, do we need to have 2 set of Write #filenum? and what would be the best way to have both save and save as in program with least codes

Goes something like:

Private Sub Save_Click()
If Dir(App.Path & "\preview.htm") <> "" Then
Open App.Path & "\preview.htm" For Output As #1
Print #1, Text1.text
Close #1
Else
Call SaveAs_Click
End If
End Sub

Private Sub SaveAs_Click()
    Dim iFile As Integer
    On Error GoTo User_Cancelled
    With CommonDialog1
    .CancelError = True
    .DialogTitle = "Select a html File.."
    .Filter = "Text (*.htm)|*.htm"
    .ShowSave
    iFile = FreeFile
    If .filename = "" Then Exit Sub
    Open .filename For Output As iFile
    Print #iFile, Text1.text
    Close iFile
    End With
User_Cancelled:
End Sub

You need both Save and Save As because many people are tired of too many work. After all, not many people want to browse through folders too many times. You'll need Save As for some want to save twice.

The easiest way?

Public NowFilename as String = ""
Public Sub Save(Filename As String)
  Open Filename For Output As #1
  Print #1, "Blahblah"
  'Whatever...
  Close #1
End Sub
Private Sub mnuSave_Click()
  If NowFileName = "" Then
    'code...
  End If
  If Dir NowFileName <> "" then Save NowFileName
End Sub
Private Sub mnuSaveAs_Click()
  'Code to get NowFileName
  If Dir NowFileName <> "" then Save NowFileName
End Sub
'...
'...
