save as ".txt" extension not being added-help
wife is running xp-pro in her medical office. I do not have a check in
the hide ext. for known file type, under folder options-view. In MS word-office-notepad-wordpad-all browsers-etc., when you save a file by choosing save as-and select txt or text, wherever you save the file it shows up with the .txt extension showing or added. A new billing program she has started to use because of government regulations, brought to my attention by her receptionist, will not add the .txt extension to the saved files about to be electronically billed. The billing will not proceed because of this, and she has to manually go and add the .txt extension to every file. Would this be an xp problem or the billing programs problem. The "save as" comes from the billing program, as the bill is processed and then needs to be saved, (like all programs-click on file-save as), but then xp saves the file on the computer, but without the .txt extension. Does not make any difference where the files are saved, (the billing program folder, or even if you make a folder somewhere else on the drive-computer), xp will not add the .txt extension to it. They are legit .txt files. As stated above, any other program will add the extension to a .txt file correctly, anywhere on the computer. any body help-more info provided if needed. Thanks Bob |

This won't do any harm to try:

The program you are using determines how files will be saved. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
