Hello,

No doubt this is simple, but I am trying to make the text entered by the user automatically become the default filename to be saved as when the user saves for the first name. I have tried thousands of code variations but to no avail.

The text is entered into the protected template form, the vital fields being text form fields 1 and 5. i.e

(1) John Smith
(5) 121212212

Hopefully upon clicking save as, the default file name to be saved should be John Smith 121212212.doc

I do not need a specific directory or to prevent the user from changing this filename.

Thanks in advance
Lizzie
