prompting user for bitmap name

[samv12]

i have a small question. I am using the following to save a bitmap

bmap.Save("name1.bmp")

my problem is name1 is a variable name and not the name i want the bitmap to be saved under. So if the user enters ' circle1 ' in the textbox ( i.e name1 = circle1) i want the bitmap name to be circle1.
Thank You
Sam

Don't you have to give it the full path to save? Not just the name? Why not just use a SaveDialog? If you still want to use the textbox, then just use the textbox text property to get the text that was entered in..

'replace directorypath with full path to the directory, textbox should be name without extension..
bmap.Save(DirectoryPath & "\" & TextBox1.Text & ".bmp")

The SaveDialog would be better.

The first user that enters a ? or / in the textbox will cause the application to crash.
