Hi Richard, I'm using the code exactly as was shown in my original post, with the exception of the actual filename and extension which I made more generic for the sake of example. Here is the code again as well: on SaveTheFile ask file "Save project as:" with filter "MYFL file,*.myfl" if it <> "" then put it into tfile put fld "save list" into tFiletoSave put tFileToSave into url ("file:" & tfile & ".myfl") else exit to top end if end SaveTheFile I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium with admin privileges and the UAC turned on.
