RE: MI-L return value

[Bill Thoen]

Your code is wrong. The target of the 'Commit Table As' cannot be
file_name = FileSaveAsDlg(MIDrive,thisfile,"tab","Save as new")

That doesn't evaluate to a string as it would in C, for example. 

You need to get the value for file_name first, then use that as the target 
for the commit. Try this instead:

Sub SaveScenAs
  thisfile = ""
  MIDrive = "C:\RedistDB\MB Tools\tabcall"
  file_name = FileSaveAsDlg(MIDrive,thisfile,"tab","Save As New")
  Commit Table log as file_name
End Sub
