how to change the save parameters

[tom]

In 2 of my programs, when i go to save or save as a type
file usually it would take whatever i call it and put
a .tre extension to the file, but with this xp pro, if i
say save as (a) it pulls up a:\ if i say save as (c) it
pulls up c:\ and any other directory that starts with a
(c) note; same for the (a) it pulls up any directory
after a:\ that begins with a (a).... if i say save as (d)
it goes to d:\ etc.... but if i say save as (b) it
creates a b.tre file etc.... Need assistance, thanks

Hi, Tom.

How about if you enclose the filename (including the full path, if
necessary) in quotes? Instead of:
Save As (c)
type:
Save As "(c)"

You will also need the quotes if your filename includes a space, of course,
and maybe in some other situations, too.

Also, many programs automatically add their own extension. For example, if
you tell Word to Save As test.txt, it most likely will create test.txt.doc.
If you tell it Save As "test.txt", you should get test.txt, without the .doc
added to the end.

This is the way it's supposed to work. It ain't broke, so don't fix it.
