I fixed another bug, the '*' missing in the autocommand:
au BufWritePre * if(expand('%') == '') | exe "file ".TempName() | endif
au BufWritePre * if(expand('%') == '') | exe "saveas ".TempName() | endif
, but still no luck. I'm still getting the "E32: No file name" error.

Well, what gets displayed when you replace "exe" by "echo" or "echomsg"?
That's a well-known debugging trick.
Best regards,
