Create a client directory
Hi,
I am new to the VB language and i am currently developing a IS for a client,
i would like to save the database using a command button "cmdCreate"
and i would like to open the save as dialog (which is easy) but i would like it to automatically
generate the file name by reading the following labels txtfirst, txtfirst, txtBusinessName and txtClientNumber.
Thanks.

Re: Create a client directory
1) Are you doing this in Access?
2) Why do you want a Save As dialog if you're going to have it automatically create the name? Is it an option for them to override the auto name?

Re: Create a client directory
Yes i am using access, well thinning about it, it doesn't need to bring a save as dialog as long as its able to generate the name from the labels, any suggestions?

Re: Create a client directory
as long as its able to generate the name from the labels
this is simple to do, what part are you having a problem with?
Code:
savename = fullpath & "\" & txtfirst & txtlast & txtbusinessname & txtclientnumber & ".mdb"
change file extension to suit, i did not duplicate txtfirst as i assumed it was a typo
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
