If I let a Windows user choose via dialog where my app creates and

I'm a bit worried about users choosing to save the file into a folder
that Vista will then not allow the rev app to open that file.
Maybe I'm being overly paranoid ;-) But Vista seems a bit cranky.
Vista *is* cranky, but I've had good results as long as I stick to
folders within the user space.
You can direct the user to their Documents folder by specifying the path
there in the ask file dialog, using the specialFolderPath function:
ask file "Save file as:" with specialFolderPath("Documents")
That's no guarantee the user won't switch to a more troublesome folder,
but in my experience many Windows users tend to stick to whatever folder
you prompt them to.
