Saving question, opening

[progeix]

Hey, I am making a program to save a FORM type thing. And I need a way that it will save the forms into a Folder..

Say the person installs the program into
C:\program files\mystuff\ i would like the form to be automaticly saved to where they installed it and to the folder PROG ex.
they click save and it puts it into
c:\program files\mystuff\prog\

and Also I need a way they can open the saved form. so how do i make a dialog box appear and ONLY the ending type say ".frm" it will only show those files with that ending?


thanks

When specifying File/Folder Locations within your application using the App.Path Property will return a string containing the Path from which the App was Launched, ie. the Installation Folder.

MkDir App.Path & "\AppSubDir" 'Creates a Sub Directory called "AppSubDir" in the Application Directory.

To display only .frm extensions in a Dialog, use the Filter Property of the CommonDialogbox, eg.

CommonDialog1.Filter = "Forms (*.frm)|*.frm"
