Hi Steve,

Which 4D version?
Mac or Windows? There should be no difference, but I tested it on Mac using v15.

$path:=“Macintosh HD:Users:myname:Dektop:filename.txt”
$path:=Select document($path;”text”;””;File name entry)

The Save As dialog opens in this case the desktop and sets the file name as 
expected.

But the parent path must be pointing to an existing directory. If not, I get 
the documents folder as default.
