Set the FileOpen property to false:<br> <code> file=Dialog.FileBrowse(false, "Save As", "c:\\", "All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "", false, true);<br></code> <br> Please note that file is a table. In the above example, multiple file select is not allowed. To access the path returned by the FileBrowse action, use file[1] as a variable. This gets the value from the first position of the table.<br> <br> </li> <li>If you are using the Save As dialog to copy a file from your cd to the user's system, you must use a File.Copy command after the Save As dialog has been displayed:<br> <code> File.Copy("c:\\example.exe", file[1], false, false, false, false, nil);</codE> </li> </ol> <h3>MORE INFORMATION</h3> <p>For more information please see the following topics in the AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0 help file:</p> <ul> <li><b>Program Reference | Actions | Dialog | Dialog.FileBrowse</b></li> <li><b>Program Reference | Actions | File | File.Copy</b></li> </ul> <p>KEYWORDS: AutoPlay Media Studio 5.0, Dialog, Save </p> <hr> <FONT SIZE=1> Last reviewed: October 1, 2003<br> Copyright © 2003 <A HREF="http://www.indigorose.com" target="blank">Indigo Rose Corporation</a>.
