Hi everyone,

i'm trying to add some code to my parametrization procedure.

I wuold like to save as the file by a name linked by a parameter, how could I do it?

now i'm using:

 

Dim newFileName as string
newFileName = InputBox("Prompt", "Title", "Default Entry")
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(newFileName , True)

 

but when i compile it says:

 

HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

 

how could I solv it?

thanks a lot in advance.

Try using ThisApplication.ActiveDococument rather than ThisDoc.

Also, the first time a new document is saved, you should set the SaveCopyAs flag to false.
