AskWoody LoungerJune 18, 2009 at 11:00 am in reply to: Prompting user to save a file upon opening up a form in word2003 #1165386Hi Hans,
Thanks for replying!
You’re right, the Document1 is Being created WITHOUT the saving.
I was able to get the prompt I was seeking. I entered in the filename.dot file the following code and have the first field in it to use the proc on entry:
Sub SaveAsNewFile()
Dim strDocName As String
strDocName = InputBox(“Please enter the name ” & _
“of your document.”)
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDocNameEnd Sub
So all is fine now, but I’m facing another issue now:
In the filename.dot file’s header I have specified to insert the filename. Although the filename.dot shows its true filename in the its header, the newly created *.doc document shows “Document1”.
How can I have the newly created document to show my assigned filename?
Thanks again, Hans, for your assistance!

AskWoody LoungerHello Hans,
Thanks for your reply!
I tested it and it worked like a charm. I tried to modify it for a yet another task and had difficulties. I just coudn’t figre out which way to go. I guess I have to strugle with the code.
I attached a sample worksheet. If you can guide me it will be wonderful as this is the last step I need to overcome to finish a project.
THANK YOU!

Thanks for the replies!!!
I’ve been experimenting and trying all the ways to achieve what I was looking for.
It’s amazing what varieties exist.In applying the different techniques and principles to further the experimentation,
all worked great – as long as I manipulated numbers. However, I had problems working with strings.The attached worksheet demonstrate what I mean.
I am really thankful for your input and was able to learn from you and apply the acquired knowledge.
I hope you will be able to assist me and suggest a resolution to the attached problem.Thank you!

AskWoody LoungerHi Hans,
Thanks for your reply.
I didn’t know Excel hasn’t got a “built-in” mechanism tp password a sheet.
I’ve applied your suggestion and it works fine, “Fragile” is OK.Thanks again! -Tivoli0

AskWoody LoungerHello Hans,
Thanks, again, for your prompt help! Works like a charm!
You know, I tried to use the countif() again before I had posted my request but I couldn’t figure out the “0”.
I tried =0 with and without the “” and it didn’t work. Syntax, syntax……Have a great day! -Tivoli0

AskWoody LoungerHi Hans,
My “Tasks” listing contains raws with the fields Subject, Company, Complete.
I view these raws via the View>Expand/Colapse Groups.
When I select from the menu File>print>Table Style, I only have options to print out to a printer.I’ve installed pdf driver so I sometimes print the report to a pdf file.
However, my boss asked me if I can print it out to a text file or even better export to an Excel format file.Hope I am understood and will be glad to receive any help. Thanks!

AskWoody LoungerOK, I found the solution.
Here is how I fixed it, If anyone experiencing the same:
I right clicked on the taskbar – while the small window is open – and chose “move”.
I rescaled the small window to fit the whole screen with the mouse.
Then, I exited the browser (“x” out).
When I logged back on and clicked a link, the 2nd window captured the whole screen.
