Subject: MI-L FileOpenDlg Question


I am using the FileOpenDlg to open a file, register the file, and then
doing a "Commit As" to save the file under a different name to be able
to manipulate the file.  What I am wondering is if there is a way to
save the file as the original file name, plus an extension.  Example:

szOpenTable = FileOpenDlg(ProgramDirectory$() + ...

  Then, I would like to save the table as szOpenTable_trk.  Basically, I
wish to keep the file name, add an extension, and save.  And ideas?
