File SaveAs fucntion 1

[MaxbyMike]

I was wondering if any one could help me?
I wrote a program that out puts CAD files. But want I need is a way for the user to select what directory they want the files to be saves in. It would be nice is I could get their choice as a string so I can add it to the rest of the needed file information.
Thanks for your Help

You can use the SaveAs form from the Common Dialog Control. But, with this, the user would have to specify a filename. It sounds like you are looking to get the directory. If you want an example on using this control, just let me know. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

That's what I'm looking for, some code that will allow the user to select a directory form their computer. An example of this would be great.
Thanks

Add the Microsoft Common Dialog Control to your Project>Components. Add the Common Dialog Control to your form (Named dlg in this example). Then, under your OK button, you can insert the following:

    Dim sFileName As String
    Dim UsrRes, s1 As String
    
    dlg.Filter = "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt"
    dlg.InitDir = "C:\Temp\"
    dlg.ShowSave
    
    sFileName = dlg.FileName
    sPartName = dlg.FileTitle
    
    If Len(sFileName) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "Cancelled!"
    ElseIf Dir(sFileName) <> &quot;&quot; Then
        'File Already Exists - Prompt User
        s1 = sFileName & vbCrLf & &quot;Already Exists.&quot; & _
             vbCrLf & &quot;Should I overwrite the file?&quot;
        
        UsrRes = MsgBox(s1, vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, _
                &quot;Overwrite Existing File?&quot;)
        
        If UsrRes = vbNo Then
            MsgBox &quot;Orignal File Preserved!&quot;, _
                    vbOKOnly, &quot;New File Not Saved!&quot;
        Else
            Kill sFileName
        End If
    End If
    
    'Save your file
    MsgBox sFileName

Hope this helps! DimensionalSolutions@Core.com
